Green Bay - The first real injury report of the week was released, and there's a mix of good and bad news as far as the Green Bay Packers are concerned.
As expected, wide receiver Donald Driver (foot) is listed as probable and should start. Defensive end Aaron Kampman is also listed as probable with a twinge in his rib cage. He was limited in practice on Friday.
On the negative side, wide receiver Greg Jennings was not able to practice with a right hamstring injury and is listed as questionable.
"We're just being smart with him today," McCarthy said. "I talked to Greg at practice. He feels good about Sunday's contest, but we'll work him again tomorrow. He went through the whole rehab phase today. I'll get some information when I get back in there. I'll just go back on what he tells me and what the trainers tell me. Hopefully they tell me the same thing. That's sometimes a problem."
If Jennings can't go, McCarthy said rookie James Jones would start in Jennings' place.
Both of the Packers' "veteran" running backs, Vernand Morency and Ryan Grant, are questionable as well.
McCarthy on Morency: "He really pushed it as far as his conditioning and rehab. As far as did he get enough work reps-wise, I would say yes in certain situations. I would not put him out there to play 50-60 snaps. That wouldn't be the plan for him....He's sore. As far as where he is in his rehab, Doc McKenzie is looking for a little better recovery the next day when he really does push it. We did some things with him today, and we'll see how he feels tomorrow...
I'm hopeful he's at the back end of his injury. I'm hopeful this is probably the last week, or the last two weeks, of what he's going through. He's just got to get over this last hurdle."
McCarthy on Grant: "I really do (feel better about his status), because you want to take three halfbacks into the game. Going into the game with two is something you really don't want to do. So once again, the health of that group needs to improve from top to bottom. But I feel better today than I did probably two days ago.
Here's the Packers' entire injury report:

Thanks for the info...was wondering if he had a "touch" count.
