the final cut all the way down to tomorrow.  The final cut down is just not clear to us.”

Crosby and Ramirez were both at practice this morning, but they didn’t kick.  The kicking competition will resume on Tuesday during practice.

Tavecchio hit roughly 86% of his field-goal attempts in practice and preseason games, compared to 80% for Crosby.  But Tavecchio doesn’t have the same leg strength as Crosby or Ramirez.

Mike McCarthy said the Packers wouldn’t likely get down to the NFL limit of 75 players until tomorrow.  The deadline is 3pm.
