The Packers will obviously welcome back Woodson because he’s a playmaker.  But who takes a back seat with his return? 

Rookie Casey Hayward has performed well in the slot.  He has 5 interceptions and 15 more pass breakups. 

Defensive Coordinator Dom Capers said he’s been watching Woodson run occasional routes on the scout team and doesn’t see anything wrong.  But it’s just a matter of time when they feel Woodson will be able to take some hits on his shoulder.

Woodson is expected to miss at least six weeks of action, which would see him return with around 3-weeks left in the season.  McCarthy said he expects him to return this season and will give him every opportunity to do so.

It’s the same collarbone that Woodson broke in the Super Bowl, but McCarthy said this one isn’t as bad.

Woodson will remain on the Packers active roster and McCarthy said he fully expects the next players in line to step up and play better defense.

getting quarterback Alex Smith to the ground four times in Sunday’s 30-22 San Francisco victory. 

That same defense however, gave up 377 total yards, including 186 on the ground.  Last season, the Packers ranked high in take/aways.  Yesterday, they forced no San Francisco turnovers. 

Yet somehow, Packers veteran safety Charles Woodson is encouraged by their play.

Packers veterans get some time off

Sunday night’s training camp workout was a showcase opportunity for some of

the younger players on the Green Bay Packers roster.

A handful of veterans were given the night off which allowed players like Graham Harrell and wide receiver Diondre Borel to get some more legitimate reps.

AUDIO: Mike McCarthy said it was great work for the younger players :19

Aaron Rodgers, Donald Driver, Ryan Pickett, Jarrett Bush, Jeff Saturday, Charles Woodson, Anthony Hargrove, A.J. Hawk and Greg Jennings were all off.  Jennings would have missed anyway because of a concussion.  John Kuhn could have taken the day off, but given the fact that he just returned to practice, he decided to work anyway.

him on his physical.  In effect, the Packers said they weren’t comfortable putting Collins back on the field, even though he could eventually be cleared by medical specialists.

15-1 season and remember just how special it was.  For now, 15-1 means nothing.

Packer Nation didn’t know how to act walking out of Lambeau Field after yesterday’s game.  They just watched their team blow up in every facet of their game.  The Packers turned it over 4 times. had a number of dropped passes, couldn’t stop the Giants passing game and gave up a Hail Mary touchdown at the end of the 1st half to go up 10 on the Packers.
