Packers-49ers Friday injury report: Burnett, Jones questionable

GREEN BAY — Just when it looked like the Green Bay Packers would only be without one player — cornerback Casey Hayward — from their 53-man roster for Sunday's regular-season opener at San Francisco, safety Morgan Burnett and inside linebacker Brad Jones showed up Friday morning with soreness in the hamstrings they injured against Seattle on Aug. 23.

Both starters on defense, Burnett and Jones both missed the Aug. 29 preseason finale at Kansas City but had practiced in full on Wednesday and Thursday and were not even listed on the injury report until their hamstrings bothered them Friday.

"We'll see how it goes. We'll be smart with those guys," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said after Burnett did not practice at all on Friday and Jones was limited. "Forty-eight hours (until game-time), it's important to get those guys ready to play the game. Hopefully, it's nothing more than that."

Packers
Out: CB Casey Hayward (hamstring).
Questionable: S Morgan Burnett (hamstring), ILB Brad Jones (hamstring).
Probable: CB Jarrett Bush (ankle).

49ers
(San Francisco’s practice had not concluded at the time of this posting.)

If Burnett can't go, the Packers would started M.D. Jennings and Jerron McMillian together at safety. The two have been battling for the starting job next to Burnett all offseason and training camp. Chris Banjo is the third safety.

If Jones can't go, Robert Francois would likely get the call in his place. The Packers also have Jamari Lattimore and rookie Sam Barrington on the roster at inside linebacker.

"Well, you always have to prepare," defensive coordinator Dom Capers said. "We always tell our guys, if you're sitting in that room, you've got to be ready to go in because you might be one play away from being out there and playing a whole lot of plays."

Hopefully they're just messing with Frisko, but I doubt it.

How they respond to adversity.....that's an important thing.
Hopefully it will be like 2010. The next guy in line steps it up.

we have good depth at lb, but burnett would be a great loss, i like mcmillan but he has tendencies to go for the interception and could get torched on occasion !!

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh

Martha Careful (1-Apr) : Too bad camera's can't spot the ball as well.

Mucky Tundra (1-Apr) : So will the chain gang be gone completely or will they still be around as a backup or whatever?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : The method for measuring first downs in the NFL will switch from chain gangs to camera-based technology in 2025, the league announced.

Martha Careful (1-Apr) : A big step in the right direction. Just put in the college system is very very good.

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : NFL has passed a rule that allows both teams to possess the ball in OT during the regular season

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : Touchbacks on kickoffs will now bring the ball to the 35-yard line.

beast (31-Mar) : It might of gotten more popular recently, but braiding hair (even men) in certain cultures goes back for centuries.

Martha Careful (30-Mar) : Is men braiding their hair a new style thing? Watching the NCAA men's tournament many players have done

earthquake (27-Mar) : Nothing eventful happened, other than it being clear that he was a bengals fan
