Thompson taken to hospital with neck stinger

Packers linebacker Jeremy Thompson has been taken to the hospital with a neck stinger.Coach Mike McCarthy said Thompson was conscious but had no other information on the injury, which occurred near the end of practice today. An ambulance was called to The Don Hutson Center about 12:30 p.m. and took Thompson to a local hospital as a precaution.Thompson has had several neck stingers since he arrived in Green Bay as a fourth-round draft pick in 2008, most recent in training camp this year. He was expected to share some snaps at outside linebacker on Monday night against Baltimore as well as play his usual role on special teams. He almost surely will be inactive now.Thompson (neck) and rookie tackle T.J. Lang (concussion) were added to the injury report. Cornerback Charles Woodson upgraded from limited to full participation. -- Tom Pelissero, tpelisse@greenbaypressgazette.comhttp://twitter.com/tompelissero
