* OL Bryan Bulaga dropped out of practice with a right hip flexor injury that coach Mike McCarthy said has been bothering him off and on for a little bit. There was no further update on the severity.
* DE Cullen Jenkins also dropped out, with a left calf strain. "When I was running I felt it pop a little bit. Probably nothing too serious but it just felt like enough to where I couldn't get any power, any strength to push off on it," he said.
* The Jenkins injury bears watching. Anytime a DL gets a lower leg injury, it can really affect their ability to play with power. Last year was one of the first for Jenkins when he didn't have a nagging ankle/knee injury.
* LB A.J. Hawk (ankle) played on the scout team as a trial run to test the ankle.
* RB Kregg Lumpkin did his running test and hopes to practice on Tuesday.
* Both RB Quinn Porter (ankle) and LB Brad Jones (shoulder) are day-to-day and could return this week.
* OL Allen Barbre sat out the entire practice. No one asked why.
* There's a chance we could be seeing the beginning of the end for Jarrett Bush in Green Bay. He was taken off some special teams, as was Donald Lee, in favor of CB Sam Shields and TE Tom Crabtree. "Sams earned it," McCarthy said. "Sams definitely getting some time with the 1s. We do want to get closer to what we feel are going to be the the guys who were going to be playing with. There is some projection, and you want to get some more information on particularly your newer guys, Tom Crabtree like you stated, and Sam Shields. Once again, its kind of the same answer to a different question. Its all part of these preseason games."
* Brandon Chillar played next to Nick Barnett in the nickel in part to give Frank Zombo more reps on the outside. "He brings the physicality that youre looking for as an outside linebacker," McCarthy said. "Everything we start with is speed to power on the rush and how you want to play the runs and so forth. I think hes done a very good job with that. High-effort player. Tough kid. Play through injuries. Hes had a nice camp so far. Hes earned every rep that hes been given and we want to increase his opportunities and see what he can do."
* McCarthy said the actions by S Derrick Martin that led to his ejection vs. Seahawks were "inappropriate." Martin said he did nothing wrong. "I feel like I played inside the rules of the game and if I get fined, we will appeal it," he said.
