Rodgers to go to on every pass play, the numbers that James Jones has put up this season has been nothing short of outstanding.
The Packers are a team that’s loaded with talent and it wasn’t too long ago that Jones was under fire for a number of big drops during the Packers 2010 Super Bowl run.

During the regular season, Tuesday is usually an off day for the Green Bay Packers. However, with the Packers hosting the Minnesota Vikings Saturday night in Wild Card weekend of the NFL Playoffs, Green Bay is back on the practice field today instead of the customary Wednesday start to the work week.
It will be the third meeting between the teams in the last six weeks. Green Bay knocked off the Vikings 23-14 back on December the 2nd while the Vikings earned a 37-34 win this past Sunday at the Metro Dome. The third meeting of the season will come just six days after the last time the teams laced it up.

Green Bay Packers Offensive lineman T.J. Lang returned to the practice field on Wednesday and
TJ Lang
could return to action this Sunday against the Bears.
Lang took reps at left guard during practice, which could mean a return to his old position on Sunday. It also likely means a second straight start for Don Barclay at right tackle.
Clay Matthews also returned to practice on Wednesday and appears to be on target to return to the lineup after missing the last four games. The news isn’t as good for Charles Woodson. The Packers medical staff doesn’t feel Woodson is ready to return and will sit another week.
Defensive end Mike Neal made a surprise return to practice on Wednesday, despite bruising and swelling to his shoulder. If he can play, alongside the recently signed Jordan Miller, the Packers would have 6 healthy defensive lineman that would give Dom Capers the ability to play more base defense as opposed to staying in nickel or dime packages.
Wide receiver Jordy Nelson did not practice on Wednesday and Mike McCarthy said he would be a long shot for Sunday’s game.
