  After getting most of last week off the Packers returned to practice today. While it is unknown at this point who will be be held out of Sunday’s game due to injury, there is some encouraging news if you just look at the players that were finally able to practice. Al Harris, James Jones, Atari Bigby, and Michael Montgommery were able to practice. While there is no guarentee that all of them will play this week, it is at least encouraging that they are finally able to practice. I think the Packers will see a big improvement right off the bat if Bigby, Harris, and Jones are able to play. Two notable players who didn’t practice were Aaron Rodgers and Charles Woodson. Neither are really a huge surprise since I am guessing McCarthy wants them both fresh for Sunday. Both have shown in the past couple of weeks that they can miss practice and still be at the top of their games so I wouldn’t worry much.

  Remember in the offseason that Johnny Jolly was arrested. While the story was pretty big it ended up fading into nothing. I was wondering what in the world was happening with the case since I hadn’t heard anything about it since training camp. I actually even thought the charges might have been dropped. Obviously I was wrong. Johnny Jolly actually has a court appearance tomorrow. I don’t know what part of the trial he is in but if he is sentenced in this hearing we could be losing Jolly for some time. Hopefully his sentence is small enough that he won’t face league suspension since the Packers could really use his services.

  Finally our friends in Minnesota are probably starting to worry especially if the latest rumors are true. Supposedly both Pat Williams and Kevin Williams are both facing a league suspension for using a banned substance. If they get the suspension this will be a huge blow for the Vikings since the two Williams are probably the Vikings best playmakers. Hopefully if they are suspended they miss the Packer game since it will be much easier to beat the Vikings if both Williams are out.
