“That’s the most important part”.

According to a report from Rob Demovsky of ESPN, Aaron Rodgers may not play against the Raiders. He hasn’t heard either way from Mike McCarthy, suggesting the head coach was focused on getting No. 2 QB Brett Hundley more reps this week coming back from his ankle injury.
Hundley had been out since suffering a sprained left ankle in practice August 1. They may not get much playing time Thursday night, but they will certainly be players to watch while they’re in the game. “You’ve got to make the most of it”.
All of that being said, what five takeaways can be seen for the Packers from their first preseason contest? “But that’s one of the things you can’t control and you just have to take it and try to heal up, stay mentally in the game, keep going to meetings, keep listening and be ready when you come back”. “This one, it’s a little different”. “I’m just going to focus on healing up and being ready when I’m ready”.
The Packers sat 17 of their players Friday including quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who watched undrafted rookie Joe Callahan run the offense. But a breakout game in a Divisional Round loss to the Arizona Cardinals last season, where the former DII standout snagged seven receptions for 145 yards and two touchdowns, made him an early front-runner to be Green Bay’s No. 3 wide receiver heading into 2016.
“I think certainly you can make that argument that that would be a logical conclusion”, Thompson said.
Expect Callahan to be the first one off the bench to replace Hundley in the second half of Thursday’s game.
Janis would have had to play in 35% of the offensive snaps in two of his first three seasons in order to qualify for the low restricted tender offer, which was $1.671 million this year and will be more than that next year. They have a great coaching staff that has worked all week to improve the issues that they showed last week.
Johnny Manziel is now a free agent in the National Football League who last played with the Cleveland Browns in 2015. He was a scratch for the game Friday night and we found out why over the weekend. “They rushed for 166 yards, and I think they had six big plays in the game”.
Jeff Janis watches practice Sunday with a wrap on his broken hand.
Check out the best photos from the Green Bay Packers’ preseason win over the Cleveland Browns. In the receiving end, Randall Cobb caught 79 receptions for 829 yards and eight touchdowns while James Jones had 890 yards and eight touchdowns on his return to Green Bay.

Janis was listed as a third-team wide out on the team’s initial depth chart, which should allow fellow pass catchers Ty Montgomery and Jared Abbrederis to see an increased role to open the season.
