Packers Calendar: Last Day This Week For Pickett to Return

If defensive lineman Ryan Pickett is to return from his concussion, Friday would be a good day, the final day of practice before Sunday's game against the Bears.

The Packers have their final day of practice this afternoon in preparation for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears, and defensive lineman Ryan Pickett has still not practiced this week.

He suffered a concussion in the win over the Oakland Raiders in Week 14 and did not play last week against the Chiefs. Given the optimism expressed by head coach Mike McCarthy that Pickett would play in Kansas City, his absence has become increasingly a concern.

However, McCarthy reportedly indicated that Pickett took part in meetings on Thursday, perhaps giving hope that he'll soon be able to return and contribute.

McCarthy will have a press conference following practice to be broadcasted live at 12:30 p.m. on the Packers official website.

The Packers will announce their final injury report for the week immediately preceding McCarthy's presser.

In the morning, the radio version of the Mike McCarthy Show airs on 101.1 FM WIXX at 7:50 a.m. in the Green Bay area and can be streamed on the radio station's website.
