Larger segment of dialog than his twitter accounts.. ;)

Read All...

GREEN BAY - Mike McCarthy sounded cautious about the situation.

B.J. Raji was much more definitive.

"I'll be playing Sunday," the Green Bay Packers' first-round pick said.

Raji, the stout defensive lineman from Boston College whom the Packers grabbed with the ninth overall pick in April's NFL draft, practiced Thursday morning for the first time since spraining his left ankle in Green Bay's final preseason game Sept. 3 at Tennessee.

He was listed as having limited participation on the team's injury report.

"It's all right. It's football," he said. "The great thing about it is it's not injured. So I just have to play through the soreness and through the pain."

Raji said he'd learned more about the Packers-Bears rivalry during the week. He's eager to get a first-hand lesson Sunday night.

"My theory, I don't like missing any games for whatever reason," said Raji, who - if he's able to play - will likely see time at left end behind Johnny Jolly and nose tackle behind Ryan Pickett. "Rivalry game, the first game of the year, of course you don't want to miss that."

"The oranges are dry; the apples are mealy; and the papayas... I don't know what's going on with the papayas!"

I don't think that Justin has real motivational problems. His body just doesn't hold up.

I'm happy with the way that Raji has been approaching his injuries and taken advantage of his playing time. One of the knocks on him was that he would take plays off and not motivated enough at all times. Love that he's proving people wrong so far.

I hope he doesn't push the envelope for no reason, if he isn't 100% there is no reason to rush back on the field. He doesn't want this injury to linger for the entire year.

Practice notes: Raji practices again
The big test for rookie defensive lineman B.J. Raji was going to be how he felt today after practicing for the first time on Thursday.

His ankle must have responded OK because he was back on the field this morning, going through at least the portion of practice that was open to reporters. It was the final workout before Sunday's season opener against the Chicago Bears.

Raji sprained his ankle in the preseason finale against Tennessee nine days ago.

Cornerback/kick returner Will Blackmon also appeared to be doing some of the drills. He has been out since the Aug. 22 preseason game against Buffalo due to a quad contusion. Running back Brandon Jackson did not appear to be practicing due the ankle injury he sustained against the Titans.

The practice started 15 minutes later than its originally scheduled 10:15 a.m. time because of some additional morning meetings. Therefore, coach Mike McCarthy's final news conference of the week likely won't begin until about 12:25 p.m. That's when the official injury report is expected to be released. Friday is the only day of the week in which teams must classify players as either doubtful, questionable or probable.

You practice on Friday, you play on Sunday.

Looks like Raji, Blackmon will be available, Jackson on the other hand looks like he will be on the inactive list.

We will see if that old saying holds true the first week.

Zero2Cool (17h) : I guess 3 games. Whatever

Zero2Cool (17h) : Bleh, that only impacts two games.

Zero2Cool (18h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Kanata, seek help! lol

beast (21h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (21h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (21h) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (21h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (21h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (21h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (21h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (22h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (23h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (23h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (27-Dec) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (27-Dec) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (27-Dec) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
