June 13, 2013 By

The Green Bay Packers are wrapping up their off-season OTA’s this week and

while running back DuJuan Harris won’t be practicing at all this week, he will be back in time for the start of training camp.

Harris was on the sidelines on Tuesday, watching his teammates workout during OTA’s.  Harris didn’t talk with the media after having a fist-sized cyst removed from his chest a couple of weeks ago.

Green Bay Packers coach isn’t quite sure just how much better his running game will be this coming season, but he knows it will be better.

Draft picks Eddie Lacy (Alabama) and Johnathan Franklin (UCLA) are two of the leading candidates to win the starting job once training camp ends and the regular season begins.

The Green Bay Packers could be moving on without linebacker Desmond Bishop.

The story was first reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and says Bishop will be released unless the two sides are able to restructure his deal or pull off a trade.  Bishop is set to make more than $3.4-million this season, part of the four-year, $19-million deal he signed in January 2011.

Bishop told the JS that he is “completely” healthy and added that there’s still a possibility he could be back with the Packers.

Bishop tore his right hamstring before the start of last season and missed the entire season.  Brad Jones took over and was later re-signed at $11.75 million over three years.  A.J. Hawk also accepted a pay cut and is set to make $10.6-million over the next three years.

Bishop said he’ll be ready to participate by training camp.  We’ll see if that will be with the Packers or another NFL team.

In today’s WRN Sports Daily, we’re talking Packers and Brewers.

Mike McCarthy is non-committal with regards to Randall Cobb’s role on special teams.  RB DuJuan Harris has surgery to remove a cyst on his lung.  And the Packers brought another kicker into camp to provide some competition for Mason Crosby.

The Major League Baseball draft also gets underway tonight.  We’ll tell you what that means for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Randall Cobb catching 100+ passes this coming season.  With Greg Jennings gone, Cobb will get even more opportunities with the Packers.

Cobb’s increased value to the Packers offense, one would assume his duties as a returner would be a thing of the past.  The Packers would certainly like to find somebody else to handle returns, somebody like WR Jeremy Ross.  Coach Mike McCarthy said it’s up to Cobb’s teammates to take the job away from Randall.
