“The thing I’ll say in reference to speaking your mind, [I read] a piece on the Bennetts recently – Michael and Martellus”. The team’s top wideout has been out since the start of training camp because of an injury to his left knee.

And the return of Montgomery may have come at a good time since the Packers are without Jeff Janis for at least this week.

With the team enjoying a comfortable advantage, Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy then led Williams to close the match. The third-year pro watched Sunday’s practice with a cast on the injured hand.

With Jordy Nelson out last season and Randall Cobb struggling, Janis stepped up with a seven-catch, 145-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Arizona Cardinals in the postseason past year. The Packers have a lot of competition for the WR roster spots following Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb.

Davis had a great first few days of camp and that is leveling out and he’s sitting around where we should expect him to be. So if there’s ever a time of year when injuries can be particularly problematic for a backup quarterback, it’s the preseason.

Hundley had been out since suffering a sprained left ankle in practice August 1.

His switch to what the Green Bay coaches refer to as an elephant end gives the Packers’ pass-rush rotation led by Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers another option.

Friday night, Callahan played the entire first half, going 16-24 through the air for 124 yards.

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers have gotten the better of the Falcons in recent meetings, but Dan Quinn will hope to continue his success over the Pack from his time in Seattle.

“I always look forward to playing in the preseason and showing you belong here”, Janis said.
