Shaky Smithson, Du ‘ane Bennett, Davon House, Brandon Saine, Jon Hoese, James Starks, DeMarco Cosby, Desmond Bishop, Frank Zombo, Johnny Jones, Ray Dominguez, Andrew Datko, Derek Sherrod, Andrew Quarless, DJ Williams, Jermichael Finley
Notes:
The Packers travel to Cincinnati for the first time since 2006; Mike McCarthy’s first season as Packers’ head coach.
Most memorable game in this series was 1992, when Brett Favre came in for an injured Don Majkowski and led the Packers to a 24-23 comeback win. Favre completed a 35yd TD pass to Kitrick Taylor with 13 seconds left to earn the win.

Packers RB Alex Green
Cedric Benson has only been a member of the Green Bay Packers for slightly over a week, but he’s already been getting reps with the No. 1 offense in training camp.
In just two practices wearing full pads, Benson has broken off a handful of impressive runs, and he certainly appears to be as natural a runner as any running back on the roster. Although he’s...

Could James Starks be on his way out of Green Bay? It appears that is very possible according to one Packers beat writer. Starks could be considered to be expendable now with the addition of veteran RB Cedric Benson to the Green Bay roster. Benson gives the Packers something their offense has lacked in recent seasons, a legitimate feature back.
