Bishop, Lang, Grant All Return to Practice

One day after three Packers starters missed the first day of practice in preparation for Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, all three returned to work to action on Thursday.
Linebacker Desmond Bishop and offensive lineman T.J. Lang both missed Wednesday’s practice due to personal reasons. Bishop indicated his grandmother died via Twitter while Lang also was dealing with family issues of his own regarding his father, as he noted on the same social networking website.
Neither will be listed on the team’s injury report, according to a tweet from the Green Bay Packers.
Running back Ryan Grant also practiced today, reports Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Grant missed practice yesterday after he suffered a laceration to his knee, which required stitches. He is expected to play on Sunday.
The only players who missed practice today were offensive lineman Chad Clifton, who has already been ruled out of the Buccaneers game, and linebacker Frank Zombo.

What about Mike Neal? Did Mike Neal practice? Really curious as to how Mike Neal is doing… Any chance Mike Neal gets some snaps on Sunday? Mike Neal could be the Starks of this season. Mike Neal is supposedly the strongest D-lineman ever. I love Mike Neal….
Mike Neal. Mike Neal. Mike Neal. Meal. McNeal…. Mrrrrraaaaaawwwwww
Replace ‘Mike Neal’ with ‘Mike Hunt’ and that is a real funny post!
Yes, I know I’m very immature. It’s one of my endearing qualities.
Want to explain that to my 11 year old daughter? Really?
Kids can understand swear words when they’re asterik’d and I tell them to ignore. This is beyond childish. Who does this endear you to?
It made me laugh.
Actually, I just reread it and I laughed all over again!
Mike Hunt was a packer for the record
