Packers Practice In Pads; Finley, Neal Limited

The latest from the Packers practice field as they prepare for Thursday's showdown with the Saints.

From Tom Silverstein:

As of right now, the only players who appear to be out for the game Thursday night are LB Frank Zombo (scapula) and CB Davon House (knee).

Today is the day the team is practicing in pads and TE Jermichael Finley and DE Mike Neal were taking part in all of the activities. Same with WR James Jones, WR Donald Driver and TE Ryan Taylor, all of whom were coming off of injuries but practiced Sunday.

The temperature around here dropped quite a bit and many of the coaches and team personnel were wearing jackets for the first time in months. The pace was fast in practice , which will go on for a little over 2 hours.

Coach Mike McCarthy will update us on injuries after practice.

Tuesday is the final practice of the week heading into the game.

Obviously, if Zombo and House are the only players held out of Thursday nights game due to injury, that would be a great start for this team from a medical standpoint.

UPDATE: From Mike McCarthy, both Finley and Neal were listed as "Limited Participation"

just wait someone will either get hurt by a dummy or by kicking a field goal before the game. Pre-game warmups are deadly I hear.

I was/am surprised that Zombo didn't get put on the PUP list for the first 6 weeks. Something I am missing?

Yes, you can't put a player on PUP once they start practicing. Zombo was practicing before the injury.

That is what I was thinking it was, but wasn't sure the rule. Good thing we don't have to have daily PUP updates like last year. (Harris, Bigby)

What's the deal with Neal? Just caution or what?

Game time decision. I'll be surprised if he plays, actually.
