 Green Bay Packers at Denver Broncos Game Notes
Green Bay Packers - QB Rotation: Aaron Rodgers, rookie Brian Brohm, Matt Flynn.
QB Rodgers said the Packers would prepare this week the way they would for a regular-season game.
Running back Ryan Grant (hamstring) is hurting.
Green Bay is reshuffling the offensive line. Rodgers completed nine of 16 passes for 58 yards, was sacked four times by San Francisco and there was no running game to speak of to slow down the 49ers' pass rush.
Defensive line health is a concern. Nose tackle Daniel Muir was the latest defensive tackle to go down, leaving the team pretty thin. There are four defensive tackles out and two defensive ends. The tackles are Muir, Ryan Pickett (hamstring), Johnny Jolly (hip flexor) and Justin Harrell (back). The ends are Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (knee) and Jeremy Thompson (neck stinger).
This Green Bay camp has been heavy on blitzing and it will be interesting to see whether defensive coordinator Bob Sanders will turn loose his squad right away. If he's going to blitz more this season, he's going to have to practice it a lot because timing and execution are so important.
Denver Broncos - QB Rotation: Jay Cutler, Patrick Ramsey, Darrell Hackney.
LBs thin.
The Broncos are hoping center Tom Nalen and cornerback Champ Bailey return to practice this week. Even if he returns to the practice field, Nalen likely will be limited, and he may not play in the final two preseason games. Bailey has not practiced since Aug. 4 because of a sore hamstring.
Denver's defensive starters were a much-maligned group after giving up 409 points in 2007 and ranking 30th against the run. But the unit held Tony Romo and the Dallas starters scoreless. |
