McCarthy's Wednesday media conference


* First, the injury report from Packers media maven Jeff Blumb: LB Desmond Bishop (hamstring, did not participate), LT Chad Clifton (knees, limited), DE Jason Hunter (hamstring, full), LB Danny Lansanah (hamstring, full), DT Ryan Pickett (not injury related, limited), QB Aaron Rodgers (right shoulder, limited), CB Charles Woodson (toe, limited).

* On Rodgers' workload today: "He was on a pitch count. He took pretty much all the run game and was limited in the passing game." How many pitches? "It's irrelevant." Has time off helped shoulder? "Definitely." Strength, structure not an issue. He just needs rest. Will be on pitch count again Thursday, see where he's at on Friday to decide how much "shutdown time" he needs.

* Bishop had hamstring strain in Monday's practice. "It's really the responsibility of the individuals to make sure we're doing as much as we can" to prevent injuries.

* On DT Justin Harrell: "He's making progress. This is what he needs," to get into football shape. "He just cannot get enough work. ... This is exactly what he needs." How much could he help? "He would definitely part of the rotation. If we do go to him on the 53, I would foresee him being active" on game day. In best shape he's been since coming to Green Bay.

* How much did extended action affect defensive line in first seven games? "All those things were looked at. I just think it was a short-term situation. ... I think if we would have continued (with that many snaps), it definitely would have shown up in the second half of our season. I don't think it's a factor right now."

* On Titans DT Albert Haynesworth: Playing as well as any DT in league.

* On committing to run game: "Every game plan is ... true to itself. You want to run the football. It's important. We weren't gashing people the way we'd like to. ... The productivity, we want to be higher, there's no question about it."

* On Titans RBs: "They both present problems. ... They complement each other well."

* On getting S Atari Bigby back: Has history at LB because of how play in scheme. He's a major factor in run support, like Aaron Rouse. Have some flexibility there. Decided whether Bigby or Rouse will start on Sunday? "They're both taking reps."

* On preseason game: Game need to go back and look at to evaluate personnel, but don't put too much stock into it.

* How does CB Al Harris look? Good. Taken full dose of practice. "He looks good. He's had a good week so far." Will be evaluated Friday, as all injured players are. Try to protect him as much as can in practice. "I anticipate he'll be active for the game."

* On LB A.J. Hawk: Looks like has burst back.

* Play Brandon Chillar over Hawk in nickel defense? "You're got to utilize your personnel." (Doesn't really answer the question, but sounds like it's something that's being considered.)

* Why Titans one of elite teams? Play fundamentally sound. Not a team that tries to trick you, just play physical. Well-coached; have lot of respect for Jeff Fisher and staff. "They're just playing very consistently right now."

* See self coaching in Green Bay as long as Fisher's been in Tennessee? "I'd be all for it."

That's it for now.

Wednesday practice report


Quarterback Aaron Rodgers (shoulder) threw some -- including a few deep balls -- during the jog-through portion at the beginning of practice but did not appear to throw after that.

Others who were either out or limited were:

CB Charles Woodson
LB Desmond Bishop
LT Chad Clifton

Woodson and Clifton took part in the jog-through period but then dropped out as is their usual Wednesday routine. Bishop did not appear to do anything, but his injury was not immediately known.

Returning to practice were:

DE Jason Hunter (hamstring)
LB Danny Lansanah (hamstring)

Also, DT Johnny Jolly was back on the field after missing Monday due to a court appearance in Texas.

I don't think so. At least not this week. I'm guessing this week their thinking about putting the SS in the box for the most of the game and that's why their talking about the SS at LB.

Having Bigby back is HUGE. With their running game being so potent right now, its crucial we have our best on the field.

I really hope Al comes back this week too. Even if his PT is limited.
Fan Shout
beast (4h) : I was kind of hoping Douglas might come back to the Pack
beast (4h) : My question is how much do we trust Jenkins? In bad weather, he seemed to struggle a bit with ball control snapping, though he started at OG
beast (4h) : Well Jenkins probably knows he's not getting that 2026 salary number without a new contact... so just trying to get the new contact early
Zero2Cool (9h) : CB Rasul Douglas is visiting the #Seahawks today, per source.
dfosterf (12h) : He's a switch and baiter. Its the same as a bait and switcher except he agreed to the switch first lol
dfosterf (12h) : 6.8 mil raise next year. Those are existing contract numbers

buckeyepackfan (12-May) : Packers @ Bears week 16(Saturday Game)
Zero2Cool (12-May) : Clifford hasn't been the same since losing 8
dfosterf (12-May) : Sean Clifford would probably disagree
dfosterf (12-May) : Canuck Cannon. Got a very good feeling about this
Zero2Cool (12-May) : Tom Pelissero also reports what bboy stated
bboystyle (12-May) : The Green Bay Packers on Monday signed Taylor Elgersma, the Canadian-born quarterback who tried out at the team’s rookie camp last weekend
beast (12-May) : There were reports four days ago that the Packers were signing QB Taylor Elgersma, but no official action since
Zero2Cool (12-May) : And for Ian Rapoport to announce Saints send 1st and 2nd rounder to Packers for Malik Willis.
dfosterf (12-May) : *Elgersma*
dfosterf (12-May) : Today would be a good day to discover the Pack signed Taylor Engersma, the Canadian QB
Zero2Cool (11-May) : It wasn't. He simply wanted his money back. They refused. Cops came. They gave him his money in end.
dfosterf (11-May) : Fortunately it doesn't sound like a big deal
Zero2Cool (10-May) : Elgton Jenkins Involved In Strip Club Dispute ... Cops Called To Mitigate
Zero2Cool (10-May) : Derek Carr retires. Shoulder must be bad.
Zero2Cool (10-May) : Packers Pro Shop is not currently printing Golden #22 jerseys ā€œuntil his number is confirmed after Training Camp.ā€

Martha Careful (9-May) : Favored Illinois Bishop?
beast (9-May) : Technically, the I in FIB stands for Italian now, Si?
dfosterf (8-May) : I never thought I'd live long enough to call a pope a FIB, but here we are
Martha Careful (8-May) : Chicago produces a pope before it produces a 4000 yard passing quarterback
wpr (8-May) : HAHAHA Mucky Comment of the day.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : According to reports, Mel Kiper is furious that Sanders wasn't selected as the new Pope
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Time taken to get picked:
Zero2Cool (8-May) : New Pope: 2 days | Shedeur Sanders: 3 days
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Collin Whitchurch @cowhitchurch Ā· 1h Chicago got a pope before it got a QB to throw for 4,000 yards in a season.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : New Pope from Chicago; in other words, the city produced a Pope before a 4000 yard passer
beast (7-May) : My first name starts with R and my beer belly is quite voluptuous! Thank you for noticing šŸ˜
Zero2Cool (7-May) : beast, you're just one R from being voluptuous.
Zero2Cool (7-May) : And now some Packers blogger is like Doubs to Steelers makes sense!!!!

Martha Careful (5-May) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO
dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.
dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning
Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?
beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.
beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.
dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition
