Zombo, Bigby, Hall Don't Practice On Thursday

This trio of players looks unlikely to play on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

Neither linebacker Frank Zombo, safety Atari Bigby nor fullback Korey Hall practiced on Thursday as the Green Bay Packers prepare to take on the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs on Sunday.

At this point, it appears unlikely any will be available on Sunday, although none have officially been ruled out as of this time.

Hall looks to be the least-likely to play. Asked whether he suffered a setback, head coach Mike McCarthy said, "I guess you could classify it as that. He’s not ready to practice yet. His chances are decreasing to be ready for the game."

According to reports, Zombo went through drills on the side. Tomorrow would figure to be a big day for him and all the injured players as Friday is the last day of practice for the week.

In the positive news department, as far as the Packers are concerned, defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins was in full-participation for the second consecutive day.

"Cullen Jenkins is making progress," said McCarthy. "He practiced today a little more than he did yesterday. Went through some of the team drills. Just as we said at the beginning of the week, we’re going to take the full week of preparation and have a decision at the end of the week. He’s getting better."

Cullen practiced 2 days in a row. Best news I could've hoped to hear.
