Janis suffered a broken right hand in practice Wednesday and didn’t play Green Bay’s first preseason game two days later. So if, say, Aaron Rodgers breaks his collarbone again, the team can decide to place the quarterback on IR and use their long activation on him rather than Janis.

“I think we’ll go back to work with the guys we have and hopefully we’ll get some guys back and keep moving forward”.
Callahan, last year’s top college player in Division III, was denied an opportunity to start opposite the Colts’ Andrew Luck last week. “That’s the most important part”.
Whether or not Aaron Rodgers plays against the Raiders on Thursday night, he’s been having a blast this week.
The final practice before a preseason game often provides major clues about who will play.
Hundley had been out since suffering a sprained left ankle in practice August 1.
“You tell him something once, and he gets it”.
Hundley is back on the field this week after missing last Friday’s game with an ankle injury. He led a remarkable 12-play, 80-yard drive, resulting in a 2-yard touchdown pass to running back John Crockett, with seven seconds remaining in the half. Last year as a rookie, Hundley shined in the preseason, leading the National Football League in exhibition passing years (630) while completing 69.2 percent of his passes with seven touchdowns and one interception. I’m still urgent, I’m dying to play. He was dominant as a gunner on the punt cover team and very effective on kick coverage previous year and had a chance to make the team just based on those skills. “I have to go out and show what I can do”. Callahan finished 16 of 23 for 124 yards and the touchdown.
Looking ahead to Thursday night, the Packers will host the Oakland Raiders to Lambeau Field. If the organization turns Rodgers into more of a game manager, they will become one of the few teams who have a real shot at winning the super bowl.
Griffin, the former Redskin who made his first start since 2014, passed for 67 yards and an interception on 4-of-8 attempts. I love playing football, and at the end of the day, may the best man win. “It was definitely a great start for us, just need to continue to build off of that”.
The Cleveland defense limited Green Bay to 13 points but allowed 320 yards, including 151 on the ground. A lot of sloppy play, a lot of mistakes and more combined safeties in a game than any in recent memory. “But this is just something that happens and I can’t really control it”.
Beyond that, the timeline for Janis’ return from his fractured right hand remains open ended.
Janis’s tenure in Green Bay has been weird in a way that I’m not sure I’ve ever otherwise seen. Nelson (knee) and C Corey Linsley (hamstring) remain on the physically unable to perform list.
So far in training camp, Jones is drawing good reviews in the hybrid role, which has him standing up as a linebacker and also lining up inside on the defensive line. S Morgan Burnett didn’t practice Sunday because of a back injury.
And he didn’t give much thought to the Packers playing without Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers.
Callahan would have been in the Packers’ starting lineup.

Arians said cornerback Cariel Brooks, wide receiver Jaxon Shipley and defensive tackle Olsen Pierre will be questionable.
