The Green Bay Packers released safety Charlie Peprah on Wednesday
In the first stunning move of training camp in 2012, the Green Bay Packers have released safety Charlie Peprah according to Jason Wilde of ESPN 540.

With the players just recently completing their physicals, some speculation is surely going to be that Peprah failed his physical but no official word from the team has been given as of yet.

How Long Does it Take A Running Back to Recover From An ACL Injury?
Surprisingly, one of the biggest concerns from Packers fans is depth at running back (personally I would have put safety as my top concern). Fans are worried that the combination of James Starks, Alex Green and Brandon Saine may not be enough to take pressure off Aaron Rodgers and the passing game. One thing that I think fans have missed is that Alex Green isn’t exactly ready...
Packers fans have learned to love Thompson
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Any discussion about Packers general manager Ted Thompson used to be a hotly contested debate.

The Packers placed tight end Andrew Quarless and offensive lineman Derek Sherrod on the active/physically unable to perform list to begin training camp.
