Here's some ofthe Packers practice report from today. Notice that the team is having all kinds of injury problems at RB and four different runners are mentioned as possibly seeing some playing time on Sunday. Guess who isn't mentioned at all?
The musical chairs at the running back position continues.
RB Vernand Morency (knee) was limited again Thursday but has done enough to show the coaches that he's ready to play unless he suffers a setback. He injured his knee in the first training camp practice back in July and missed the entire pre-season. Given that head coach Mike McCarthy said he will only have four backs on his game day roster, he'll need to figure out which backup to de-activate. That could be rookie RB Brandon Jackson (shin), who did not practice Thursday and was added to the injury report. It's unlikely rookie RB DeShawn Wynn will be inactive because he has been entrenched as the third-down back of late and has been their most productive back. The same goes for backup RB Ryan Grant, who is a key special teams player. That could leave Jackson as the odd man out.
"(Morency) looked good two days in a row," McCarthy said after Thursday's practice. "I think he's put together back-to-back practices where in the past he's been frustrated the day after a hard practice because of the way he feels."
