Hayward not practicing is disappointing, especially after his limited participation last week. Maybe your IR speculation still holds water.

#packers injury report: CB Bush DNP; CB Hayward DNP, LB Brad Jones OUT, LB Andy Mulumba DNP, RB Starks OUT, OL GVR OUT, LB Matthews OUT

Curiouser and curiouser. He's not listed as OUT on practice report of injured as has previously been the case.

[mraynrand]

was there a final word on Jones?

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 6m
MM: Casey Hayward is getting better. A little sore after last week. We'll see where he is tomorrow. Hope to do some individual work

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 6m
So ILB Brad Jones has been ruled out for the #Packers game Sunday at Baltimore.

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 6m
McCarthy says he would expect Matthews to have to play with a cast once he does return to the field.

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 6m
MM: I think Mike Neal and Nick Perry did some really good things. This is a primary position as far as our emphasis

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 6m
MM: Brad Jones, I have no reason to believe it's going to be very long.

Packer Report @PackerReport 5m
For Jones, it's the other leg. Not the same one he injured in preseason.

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 4m
MM: James Nixon is an option on returns. Factors into it like everyone else

Green Bay Packers @packers 2m
McCarthy-The Red Zone offense isn't where we want it to be at this point, but confident it will get there.

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 2m
MM: We need to pick it up on third downs. Spent time on last night as a staff. We'd like to do a better job there. BAL good at 3rd down D

was there a final word on Jones?

Out this week but not looking terribly long term. Injured his other hamstring, not same one as earlier this year.

Good work by Bob on the Packer grading system.

Starks out again. You have to think the Packers will cut bait with him if they need the spot, despite the good performance he had a couple of weeks ago. He just can't stay on the field.

Bush is a surprise, wasn't he active vs Detroit?

Week 6 coming up, kind of anxious to see what happens with Worthy, Sherrod and Tretter.

[Fritz]

So no Matthews, no Jones, no Hayward, no Starks, no Van Rotten for Bawdimore.

And maybe no Bush.

Keeping Suggs and what's his name, Denverville, off of Rodgers will be a major task for the Packers OL. If they can do that they win. If not they will go down along with ARod.

He is term limited and, after the last goodbye, I don't see any returns in his future.

injury prone!

I'm Ok with this, except when they play at Chicago. You know he won't get a fair shot there!

[Guiness]

injury prone!

There's no way the Pack can trust him to be available at this point. He came back from the dead to make the squad out of TC when everyone thought he had no hope. With this injury I have to believe the only reason they haven't done an injury settlement is because they don't need the roster spot for the second punter right now. Because that's how useful he is at this point, about as much as a second punter.

The guys did a decent job against Suh and Farley on Sunday.
