From Pelissero:

"tompelissero Based on how McCarthy is talking, #Packers' o-line this week will be LT Clifton, LG Colledge, C Wells, RG Sitton and RT Tauscher.

tompelissero A.J. Hawk will take majority of reps in nickel with #Packers LB Brandon Chillar sidelined.

tompelissero On C Jason Spitz: Not making progress. Dr. Pat McKenzie is concerned. Spitz is frustrated. Uncertainty with low-back injury.

tompelissero DNP today for #Packers: Driver (neck), Finley (knee), Nelson (knee), Rodgers (feet), Spitz (back), Woodson (hip).

tompelissero #Packers QB Aaron Rodgers likely won't be a full participant in practice until Friday. McCarthy: "Fully anticipate him playing in the game."

tompelissero #Packers RT Mark Tauscher took the majority of first-team reps today. LT Chad Clifton (ankle) looks healthy.

tompelissero #Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (feet) and CB Charles Woodson (hip) did not practice today."


The Spitz news is very concerning, Not surprised about Rodgers getting some rest for his feet. Can't complain about Tauscher looking ready to start this week.

I really wish they would let Clifton sit another week and get that ankle 100% right.. maybe it is.

Moving Barbre to second string doesn't hurt my feelings a bit.. he still has some work to do to become a quality NFL tackle.

Spitz is concerning.. maybe that is the reason Clifton is being rushed back.. allowing Lang to be available at any spot on the line?

---

I know Lang appears much more valuable as a tackle for our future, but his footwork and hand work would look excellent at center if Spitz is going to be done for the year. But that goes against my distaste for our continued musical chairs.

---

Don't like hearing Spitz isn't coming along. Has anybody heard more details that just lower back? Is is muscle, disc or nerve related?

I would rather keep Lang in there, He has played a bunch of real game snaps, and has he false started? IMO Clifton should be a backup only now.

Excited to see Tauscher back though. I hope he is back full. He could keep us good a RT for a season or more, while we straighten out other spots.

---

How serious is Driver's neck?

---

Not surprised about Rodgers either. I just hope that things will be ok with him having to stand in the pocket more if he is immobilized a bit.

I can't imagine it being too serious, he re entered the game after he got injured.

---

Im very interested in seeing how Tausher looks, while you can overlook TB, its a good game to give him a look.

---

This may force the coaches to game plan a bit differently to make sure Rogers is able to get rid of the ball quicker. If he can't scramble he will have to throw it or hand it off. This may be a good thing.

Yes!
