I'm glad we've picked up a CB for the PS.

But we've cut the young and promising Francois and kept the 27-year-old indoor football player Simpkins. Boy, they must really like him a lot to keep a guy with such little upside on the practice squad.

Can he return punts?

* CB Brandon Underwood (shoulder) returned to practice for the time since before the exhibition against the Colts. Hard to tell how much he did, but he was favoring his shoulder during drills, and didn't take any snaps in the team periods when the media was allowed in.
* CB Charles Woodson (toe) and LT Chad Clifton (knees) were not present at practice. However, the media was not allowed in during jogthroughs. They likely took part in that.
* DE Cullen Jenkins (left hand) and DE Mike Neal (abdomen) did rehab workouts. Neal still seems to be favoring his side.
* New RB Dimitri Nance as on the field, wearing No. 23. Seems like a very similar build to Brandon Jackson, but not quite as big in the lower body. Couldn't really tell much from what he did. Nothing stood out. About the most I can say is he's put together well.
* CB Josh Gordy, who was just signed to practice squad, is wearing No. 27 and returned punts for the scout team.

Good find Finley88... +1.

Can't help to think that the Packers aren't concerned about putting Tramon and Greg in harms way..

^ That's not what 93z means, though.

Tramon probably had one of his best games as a pro at CB. He showed his value to our team, particularly given that Sam Shields and Jarret Bush are nickel and dime backs respectively.

If he gets any injury, we will be in a world of hurt. You just cannot risk him, because the cost of that risk is too great.

Honestly, I was hoping every time he was back there to punt that he would fair catch the ball. I was particularly scared when he lunged forward to recover the punted ball and stop it from rolling backwards. Those type of moves leave him needlessly exposed to danger. We, simply put, cannot afford to lose him or Sir Charles. They pretty much make up our CB depth.

If I remember correctly, Tramon got tackled when he fair caught the ball (yes, it was a 15-yard penalty, but still...).

I'm kind of torn on this issue. So hopefully this Gordy guy is studly enough to make the 53 and return punts for us.

Well.. I don't like it.. don't like the punt return situation at all.. one game or in the playoffs.. I can accept the risk.. for a full season..

Mikey don't like it. 😉

Packers Sign LB Francois To Practice Squad, Release T Campbell
http://www.packers.com/news-and-events/article-1/Packers-Sign-LB-Francois-To-Practice-Squad-Release-T-Campbell/f7fafc2c-8f7e-47d8-8c01-2e9a9005d0af 



The Green Bay Packers have signed LB Robert Francois to the practice squad and released T Chris Campbell from the practice squad. The transactions were announced Thursday by Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations Ted Thompson.

Francois, a 6-foot-2, 255-pound first-year player, spent time on Green Bays practice squad at the end of the 2009 season as well as earlier this season. He originally entered the NFL as a non-drafted free agent with the Minnesota Vikings in May 2009 out of Boston College. Francois will wear No. 49.
