Packers running back P.J. Pope had arthroscopic knee surgery and likely will miss a couple of weeks, coach Mike McCarthy said after practice today.
Pope hurt the knee in Saturday’s scrimmage. With Vernand Morency also out with a knee injury, the Packers likely will have only three running backs plus fullback Corey White to carry the ball in Saturday’s preseason opener at Pittsburgh.
Other injury news:
-- Left guard Daryn Colledge has a mid-back sprain. McCarthy said he hopes Colledge will practice Tuesday.
-- Receiver Greg Jennings dropped out of practice today because of a hip flexor problem. McCarthy said Jennings’ hip has been sore the past week. Jennings also missed time during OTAs with a similar injury.
-- Tackle Tony Moll has a shoulder stinger.
-- Lastly McCarthy said he was not sure why defensive end DeVon Hicks did not practice today.
