Packers CB Al Harris was pulled from Sunday's game near the end of the first quarter after trainers noticed blood in his urine.

Harris left earlier in the quarter after a collision with LB A.J. Hawk. It was announced later that he had some cramping on the sideline, but once trainers found that blood, he was shut down for the rest of the game. Blood in urine is often related to some kind of kidney malfunction, but we should know more in the upcoming week.

Packers CB Charles Woodson claimed his broken toe was "hurting" after Sunday's loss to the Cowboys.

Woodson sat out the Cowboys' final series and should be limited in practice this week.

Packers S Nick Collins suffered multiple bruises in the same area of his back on two separate plays Sunday.

Collins will likely be limited in practice early in the week. Coach Mike McCarthy admitted that he's concerned about the various injuries to his defense and is worried about the team's health heading into next week's game against the Buccaneers.

Packers C Scott Wells (back) was unable to make his 2008 debut in Week 3 against the Cowboys.

Wells just recently returned to practice after missing nearly a month. "They said, basically, three days of practice wasn't long enough time for them to assess it," he said. He can be counted on for next week's game against Tampa Bay and should bolster an offensive line that allowed five sacks in Week 3.

Looked like Al caught Hawk's hip all up in his side. That's a solid Nabisco to be bumping into at high speed.

McCarthy speaks


Coach Mike McCarthy's regularly scheduled Monday media conference is to begin any moment. I'll post the highlights here ...

* Here are the injury updates: RB Kregg Lumpkin (hamstring strain), CB Charles Woodson (toe seemed to come out OK), LB Nick Barnett (elbow strain), S Nick Collins (low back contusion), CB Al Harris (having tests now, checking for everything), WR James Jones (knee sprain, trainers also looking at his wrist).

* Coaches will talk tonight and Tuesday about whether to reinsert Scott Wells. RG Tony Moll "did some good things but struggled in some things." He'd be the odd man out if Wells returns, with Jason Spitz moving back to right guard.

* Lumpkin's hamstring injury isn't as severe as Ryan Grant's was when he first did it.

* S Aaron Rouse had a lot of production, but his performance was a lot like football team's. As a whole, team wasn't as detailed as you'd like.

* Only ran one or two inside zones against Dallas. Mostly outside zones. Goal is to be around 30 carries. Didn't accomplish that. Thought running game was "OK," but zero explosive gains isn't good.

* The status of S Atari Bigby (hamstring) for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay remains up in the air.

* On P Derrick Frost: "He needs to do a better job," particularly with ball placement inside the 20. He declines to speculate on whether the Packers will look at other options.

* Dallas was the more physical football team on Monday.

* On Grant: "He's further ahead this week than he was last week." Hope can get more work in practice this week and get more carries.

* On inserting Brandon Chillar as starting strong-side linebacker: Thought both Chillar and Brady Poppinga played well. Indicates the decision was based on matchups.

The secondary really looked lost out there at times last night.....we need our starters healthy.
