Injury update: Poppinga has 'unusual swelling' in leg

Linebacker Brady Poppinga has "unusual swelling" in his injured leg, leaving his status unclear for Sunday's game against Dallas."His range of motion and everything is fine," coach Mike McCarthy said of Poppinga, whose quadriceps apparently flared up on Tuesday. "So, we're just being safe with him. He will see Dr. (Patrick) McKenzie again in the morning, and his practice participation will be determined then. I really don't know if he's going to be able to go or not."That's especially significant because starting left outside linebacker Aaron Kampman's availability also is in doubt because of a concussion, leaving rookie Brad Jones to take the majority of reps with the starters in practice. Second-year pro Jeremy Thompson also has been working at the position.In other injury news ...* ILB Brandon Chillar (hand), TE Jermichael Finley (knee), Kampman, Poppinga and RT Mark Tauscher (knee) were listed as nonparticipants on the injury...
