TOP is a stat you seem to hand $20.00 too every chance you get.

The Packers have had a positive TOP every year McCarthy has been coach.

If I had to hazard a guess, I would think he could use team facilities and meet with staff, medical etc but I'm not sure about him practicing. I remember Tretter practicing with the team but I don't think they ever activated him. There's a window for this isn't there?

My hunch is he can't practice with the team if for no other reason it's a waste of time for the active roster and coaching staff. However I'd hope and assume he can still be engaged in other way, still on the sidelines, etc.

That is if the Packers still have interest in him, according to reports his first impression with the team has been dreadful.

It doesn't matter how many times they have to get on the field on D if they go 3 and out every time, the worst they will be on TOP is even.
