It's Cosby with the hamstring, not Crosby.

DeMarco Cosby, TE out of Central Missouri wasn't going to make this roster anyway. He's playing for a PS spot or a spot on another team.

Nothing against Cosby but I'm relieved it wasn't Mason.

It's an understandable miscue. I used to get Bill Cosby and Bing Crosby mixed up all the time.

Their kids didn't.

BJ Coleman shreds the first team D.

Packers press softening up the public to the reality that they're going to dump Harrell and roll with Coleman:

I am prepared to believe a lot of goofy things will happen with the Packer roster given the needs on D and the unsettled lineup at DL, pass rusher on suspension, safety and 2nd and 3rd corner needs.

But if Coleman is the #2 QB then I will have seen it all. I am not even sure Thompson, McCarthy or Belicheck have brass ones that big.

Would it be any brassier than going into 2008 with Rodgers and 2 rookies, Flynn and Brohm?

At least one of them was a 2nd round pick!

Um, ya. I guess that didn't matter so much.

I'm the same. For years I thought Bill Cosby sang 'White Christmas'!

A Shaky Smithson sighting! I can't believe that guy's still with the team. Did he spend all of last year on the ps, or did they resign him for camp?

edit: he was on IR last year

Its not like Harrell is any better then some sign FA we can sign during the season if Rodgers were to get injured for a long period of time. I've never liked Harrell's game and have always stated he was a product of a heavy passing scheme in college.

[Pugger]

If indeed Coleman is gonna play most of the 4th quarter that alone is reason to stay up and watch after the starters leave.

[pbmax]

If they sign someone, I guess not. But if its Rodgers and Coleman, yes, I think that's bigger than 2 rookie backup QBs, 5 TE or 3 FB territory.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

After what I have seen from Harrell, I wouldn't be surprised if they cut him and keep Coleman on the 53 man roster until they add a vet to be the primary backup for a year.

[RashanGary]

Packers seem to be playing more and more H-back offense. A lot of 1 back - 2 TE sets instead of the FB/RB sets. With Williams being so fast and having such good hands, it gives us the chance to open it up, or run.

Sunday practice on Twitter:

Not much BUT:
Pickett, Taylor (TE), Crabtree and Francois are out (total of 18)
Saine back
McMillian at safety in dime ahead of MD Jennings. Some Tweets that but also mean he is nickel safety, but I don't think that's a rule
In dime, Shields and McMillan came in ahead of Hayward, Levine and Jennings
Bush is RCB with 1s in base and dime
---no mention of nickel lineup
Dougherty says Shields an McMillan also with #1 D in nickel
Phillip Merling put Newhouse into Rodgers lap and knocked the QB down

[Joemailman]

Finley only healthy TE in practice today. So'oto playing some at TE.

Worthy replacing Pickett with 1's.
