[QUOTE="TOPHAT, post: 162295, member: 781"] [b]MONDAY EVENING SESSION: UNDERWOOD GONE, BIGBY 1ST TEAM[/b] [url]http://www.packersnews.com/includes/newspaper/blogs/insider/index.shtml[/url] [b]Safety Underwood to be cut[/b] The Packers plan to release safety Marviel Underwood on Tuesday, coach Mike McCarthy said after practice tonight. Underwood suffered a season-ending knee injury in training camp last year and never appeared to be back to full speed in training camp. McCarthy cited the Packers' depth at the position and a desire to give Underwood a chance to land with another team as reasons for the timing of the release. - Defensive end Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila left practice early because of a family situation in Milwaukee, McCarthy said. Gbaja-Biamila also is day-to-day because of a bruised knee. - Defensive end Michael Montgomery suffered the worst of the four knee injuries sustained by Packers in Saturday's game. He will undergo arthroscopic surgery sometime in the next few days and almost certainly will miss a month or more. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]GM Thompson fields punt[/b] Although the rain in Green Bay subsided much earlier in the day and Clarke Hinkle Field appeared dry, the Packers chose to hold their final night practice of training camp inside the Don Hutson Center. [b]Will Blackmon lined up as the No. 1 punt returner[/b]. It appears he has locked down that job. Also receiving punts during practice were Greg Jennings, James Jones and Chris Francies. Perhaps the most entertaining punt reception of the evening was when Packers General Manager Ted Thompson stepped onto the field and caught a punt from the Jugs machine. Thompson played 10 years as a linebacker in the NFL but isn’t believed to have ever been a return man. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]Bigby, Bush move up[/b] Atari Bigby and Jarrett Bush have been promoted. In the first team period tonight, Bigby, not Marquand Manuel, was at safety, and Bush, not Patrick Dendy, was the third cornerback in the nickel defense. Bush and Bigby both stood out in Saturday's preseason win against Seattle. Bigby had two sacks and Bush had two interceptions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]Rayner perfect, Crosby misses one[/b] Dave Rayner was 2-for-2 and Mason Crosby 2-for-3 in the initial team field-goal period tonight. Rayner converted twice from 43 yards. Crosby converted from 43 and 48 but missed his second attempt from 43. Jon Ryan held for Rayner and Aaron Rodgers held for Crosby. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]Underwood absent from indoor practice[/b] Practice is under way in shorts at the Don Hutson Center. The only notable absence is safety Marviel Underwood. The reason for Underwood's absence was not immediately clear. One of the four players who suffered knee injuries Saturday night, tackle Orrin Thompson, is on the field but is not participating. The other three -- fullback Ryan Powdrell, receiver Shaun Bodiford and defensive end Michael Montgomery -- were on crutches this afternoon and were not attendance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]Injury update[/b] Receiver/return specialist Shaun Bodiford said he will miss four to six weeks after spraining the medial collateral ligament in his right knee on the opening kickoff of Saturday night's exhibition win over Seattle. Fullback Ryan Powdrell said he will miss three to six weeks with a similar injury to his left leg. Bodiford, Powdrell and end Michael Montgomery were on crutches in the locker room when it was open to the media this afternoon. Montgomery, who injured the MCL in his right leg, did not speak with reporters. A fourth player who suffered an MCL injury Saturday, tackle Orrin Thompson, was not in the locker room. [b]Only Montgomery was likely to make the Packers' 53-man roster, though Bodiford was fighting for a spot as a return man.[/b] Powdrell's injury leaves the Packers with only four healthy backs -- Noah Herron and rookies Brandon Jackson, Korey Hall and Corey White. However, General Manager Ted Thompson said there are no imminent plans to bring in someone else. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]Tonight's practice indoors[/b] The Packers' practice tonight will be indoors at the Don Hutson Center and thus closed to the public. Practice, which starts at 6:30 p.m., had been scheduled to be on Clarke Hinkle Field, but a steady drizzle throughout the day changed those plans. It's the second practice the team has moved inside during this year's training camp. [/QUOTE]
