Before the Packers hit the practice field on Thursday, head coach Mike McCarthy will make his weekly appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio (satellite radio) on at 10:15 a.m. CT.

He'll be talking to one of his former players and Packers preseason announcer Rich Gannon along with Bruce Murray on the SiriusXM Blitz.

There's plenty for McCarthy to talk about on the injury front with so many players missing from action, including Aaron Rodgers, Randall Cobb, Nick Perry, Sam Shields and a host of others.

The Packers will be hoping to see several injured players return in time for practice on Thursday, but there's no guarantees. They'll have to prepare for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings with or without them.

In the evening hours, Packers wide receiver James Jones will make his weekly appearance on 101.1 FM WIXX in Green Bay for 1 on 1 with the Boys from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. CT.

The show can be streamed live online at WIXX.com and through the station's USTREAM video player.
