“Oh, man. Not this stuff again.”
Hopefully, Desmond Bishop’s injury is the only big one the Packers suffer
This has likely been the thought of many Cheeseheads as the Green Bay Packers continue to work their way through training camp and the preseason. One season removed from being decimated by injuries on their way to the Super Bowl XLV title, the Packers once again are looking at infirmary that may have more players in it than are on the practice field.
If there is one team in the league that can get by being devastated by injuries, it is the Packers. GM Ted Thompson has built one of the deepest rosters in the NFL and the vast majority of the players went through something similar two years ago.
Still, the current rash of injuries has to be more worrisome to Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy for one simple reason: it’s still training camp. The players aren’t even taking hits at full game speed and yet here the Packers are again in the position of having almost a roster on the in...

Is Three Still A Crowd At Quarterback For Packers?
Rookie quarterback B.J. Coleman has all the physical tools needed to play in the NFL
The Green Bay Packers haven’t opened a regular season with three quarterbacks on the roster since 2008, but that could change come September. If seventh-round draft pick B.J. Coleman continues to develop, there’s a chance he could join starter Aaron Rodgers and backup Graham Harrell on the final...
Green Bay Packers extend G TJ Lang
I don’t normally criticize things the Packers do, but this really seems like the Packers are buying high. Lang only has one year of starting experience and it’s not like he was an elite guard or anything last year. Making 15 starts, including playoffs, he graded out as ProFootballFocus’ 19th ranked guard. He’s better in pass protection, where he ranked 6th at his position...

James Starks Hindered By Turf Toe
Green Bay halfback back James Starks is suffering from turf toe and his status is considered "week-to-week."Fantasy Spin:Second-stringer Brandon Saine is out with a hamstring injury and Alex Green has been dealing with knee issues, so right now the Packers are looking pretty banged up at running back. All of that is good news for Cedric Benson, who signed with the Packers...
Packers respond to Rodgers' genuine nature
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- When the Packers' defensive linemen are playing cards inside the locker room, Aaron Rodgers sits down to deal a hand. When undrafted rookies are added to the team, Rodgers makes it a point to greet them, welcome them to Green Bay and get to know more about them. When offseason acquisition Anthony Hargrove wants to joke around on the field during practice, Rodgers...
No. 6 shines at Packers season opener
Chanting Green Bay Packer fans could be heard throughout Qualcomm Stadium on Thursday, even over the booing of the home crowd. All the support of their fans however, was not enough for them to secure a win. The Packers may have lost their season opener to the Chargers, but preseason games are the closest you [...]
Benson: 'Plenty' of Tread Remains on Tires
New running back Cedric Benson arrives with questions about his hefty career workload, ball security and off-the-field issues. Nonetheless, the Packers went with Benson over Ryan Grant.
Solid Thursday For Saturday
Starting center Jeff Saturday is one of the oldest players in the NFL
There’s a reason former Packer and current Ram Scott Wells will be paid nearly twice as much as Jeff Saturday this season – he’s a better player. But after carefully watching all of Saturday’s snaps from last Thursday’s game against the Chargers, I came away feeling pretty good about Green Bay’s new...
Green Bay Packers Potential Breakout Player of 2012: DJ Smith
The great thing about the NFL is that there are so many positions that every year, there is almost always at least one player who has a breakout year on every team, no matter how good or bad the team is. This is one part in a 32 part segment detailing one potential breakout player for the 2012 NFL season on each NFL team. For the Green Bay Packers, that player is middle linebacker...
Packers face Browns, new wind patterns at Lambeau
Mike McCarthy and his assistants have plenty of young players to watch in the Green Bay Packers' preseason game against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday.

KSK 2012 NFL Prekkake: Green Bay Packers
Bad news, Zooey Deschanel.
The Pack was an awe-inspiring juggernaut through the regular season last year, save for one unfortunate run-in with Kyle Orton and Romeo Crennel’s defense. Recent history, however, is not kind to the team that finishes with the best regular season record in the NFL and so too was it unkind to the Packers, who were beaten quite decisively in the divisional...
Colt Looking Like The Real McCoy
Now I don’t want to be one of those people that jump the gun but you just have to check out how Colt McCoy shredded the Green Bay defense in the first week of the pre-season. Did you see that pass to Benjamin Watson? What a beauty. And what about that fade to Joshua Cribbs? Finishing 9/10 versus the Packers vaunted attack is something we’ll talk about when we draft him...
Random Athlete Of The Day- Antonio Freeman
Antonio Freeman was one of Brett Favre’s greatest weapons. Sure, throughout his Green Bay career there was Donald Driver, Bill Schroeder, Corey Bradford, Bubba Franks, Javon Walker, and Robert Ferguson. But it’s Freeman who is the most underrated out of all of them.
Freeman played football at Virginia Tech, he caught 93 balls for 1,534 yards and 16 touchdowns through his junior...
