Week 11 - Viqueens Lead Up

[MickeyDavis]

Driver did not take part in the regular practice but will try to go on Friday. His return is looking more likely. C Scott Wells (arch) and FB Korey Hall (back) were added to the injury report. Wells' injury is minor, but Hall's back "locked up" in practice, according to Mike McCarthy. DE Ryan Pickett practiced in full, but McCarthy said he wouldn't know how he looked until he saw the practice video.

No need to rush Pickett or Driver. Give em another week.

"I think you take a good look at how we set up, just the spacing there for our returner to get started and run fast, our guys have done a pretty good job," Slocum said. "We've had very few kickoff returns tackled inside the 20 this year."

No wonder Slocum sucks, his goals: 1 - don't get tackled before the 20 on a KR (well duh)
2 - catch the ball and run fast (In retrospect, this explains every Jordy Nelson KR ever).

Korey Hall the only #Packers player not practicing today. Matthews and Pickett both took part in jog through.

That sounds good

Id be happier with that statement if all our injuries weren't season ending...

The Green Bay Packers should head into Sunday’s game at Minnesota as healthy as they’ve been all season.

The only player who didn’t practice on Friday was fullback Korey Hall, who dropped out of practice on Thursday because his back tightened up on him. It seems unlikely that Hall would play against the Vikings, but everyone else on the 53-man roster should be available.

Both linebacker Clay Matthews (hamstring/shin) and defensive end Ryan Pickett (ankle) worked extensively during the jog-through portion of practice, which was open to reporters.

On the offensive side, center Scott Wells (arch), receiver Donald Driver (quadriceps) and tight end Andrew Quarless (shoulder) took part.

We’ll have the complete injury report after practice concludes at around 12:30 p.m.

I guess he means as healthy as we've been all season after losing Grant, Barnett, Burnett and Finley.

LB Desmond Bishop was added to the injury report (hip), but he is probable. Driver, Hall and Pickett are questionable.

VIKINGS WEEK II: Friday practice report
By Tom Silverstein of the Journal Sentinel

Nov. 19, 2010 12:40 p.m. |(2) Comments

Green Bay -- First, we'll start with the injury report.

* WR Donald Driver (thigh) was limited and is questionable.
* DE Ryan Pickett (ankle) was limited and is questionable
* LB Clay Matthews (shin) was limited and is probable
* TE Andrew Quarless (shoulder) was full and is probable.
* C Scott Wells (arch) was limited and is probable
* FB Korey Hall (back) did not participate and is questionable
* LT Chad Clifton (knee) was limited and is probable.
* CB Charles Woodson (toe) was full participation and is probable
* CB Pat Lee (ankle) was full participation and is probable
* LB Brandon Chillar (shoulder) was full participation and is probable
* LB Desmond Bishop (hip) was limited and is probable

Here's what Packers coach Mike McCarthy had to say at his Friday news conference following practice:

* Bishop was added to the injury report. He has had a hip problem for awhile and it flared up, but he should be OK.

* Driver looked good. Sent him on some deep balls. Tomorrow will be the key.

* Ryan Pickett is in the same category. Did much more team today and will be evaluated tomorrow and on game day.

* Thinks it's important to practice with continuity, so the bye will help. He said it came at the right time. Have been able to re-boot. Excited that the rest of his games are on Sunday. Feels like back on their routine.

* Didn't watch the Bears game Thursday night. Focus is entirely on Minnesota. "That's who I'm focusing on," he said.

* Went to winter schedule because it's like a 12-round fight. Has cut back on practice time. More about quality than quantity. Needs to be better than first nine games. Felt accomplished that this week.

In his column today Peter King predicts Quarless will have 7 catches for 91 yards and a TD. No explanation or reasoning. Kind of odd considering he hasn't done much this season and has been hurt.

Maybe he mean Havner.

If Quarless would catch better and run better routes... no doubt he could do it... he is built like Finley and is just as fast

[Reddeye]

Sidney Rice has been activated off the PUP list.

From Bill Simmons picks column:

Packers (-3) over VIKINGS
Booooooooooooo! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Although this blowout Packers win will be marred by Aaron Rodgers getting suspended for unveiling his Cell Phone Dong touchdown dance.

Scored some tickets to the game yesterday and my buddy found a guy on craigslist who had authentic Packers jerseys for sale. I got a Jermichael Finley authentic for 35 bucks . Really excited about going to this game.

[MickeyDavis]

Yup those are authentic alright, straight from China, I see those all the time
