Rodgers ends practice with interception in 2-minute drill
Practice ended on a down note for No. 2 offense.
In a 2-minute drill, an Aaron Rodgers pass intended for Marc Boerigter was intercepted by cornerback Jerron Wishom in the end zone. Rodgers did not look sharp on the series. In addition to the interception, he also threw several incomplete passes that were off the mark.

Carrol, Gardner get into fight; Rayner misses 39-yard field goal
Cornerback Ahmad Carroll and receiver Rod Gardner got into a heated fight Monday afternoon during a two-minute drill. The players exchanged words and then Carroll grabbed Gardner by the facemask and pulled him to the ground, where the two had to be separated by teammates. Carroll continued to kick after the two players were separated. In the aftermath of the fray as Gardner started walking toward Carroll, Coach Mike McCarthy then stepped in to separate the players.
Kicker Dave Rayner missed a 39-yard field goal wide left with 5 seconds remaining in the two-minute drill.

DE Kampman not at practice and Cole almost picks off Favre
Defensive end Aaron Kampman did not participate in Monday afternoon’s practice. Kampman hasn’t been suffering from injuries, so it wasn’t clear why he didn’t practice.
** Colin Cole nearly picked off a Brett Favre pass during 11-on-11 team drills. Favre’s pass was batted up in the air at the line of scrimmage and Cole bobbled it before letting it drop it to the ground.
** Receiver Marc Boerigter dropped two passes during practice – one during 11-on-11 team drills and one during 7-on-7 drills.
** Receiver Greg Jennings made another nice catch later in Monday’s practice – this one in traffic from Brett Favre.

Gado takes snaps at fullback; Jennings impressive and
Highlights from 11-on-11 team drills Monday included:
** Samkon Gado taking snaps at fullback. Vonta Leach is the backup fullback behind injured William Henderson, but on Monday Gado appeared to take more snaps at the position than Leach.
** Linebacker Ben Taylor made an impressive interception of a Brett Favre pass along the sidelines. The pass was intended for Bubba Franks.
** Rookie receiver Greg Jennings continues to look impressive. He made a nice juggling catch between two defenders near the sidelines and stayed inbounds.
