Packers vice president of administration and general counsel, Jason Wied, is taking a leave of absence. “Jason is going to take some time to take care of a personal matter,” Packers president Mark Murphy told the Green Bay Press-Gazette. “Our senior staff and leadership team will handle his duties during his absence.” No reason was given for Wied's absence. He was a finalist to replace Bob Harlan as Packers president in 2007.

The Packers made a roster move on Tuesday, adding offensive lineman Chris Campbell to the practice squad. "The coaches were impressed with the 6-5, 328-pound Campbell in just the first few days of training camp practice and he would have had a shot at making the team if he had stayed healthy," writes Tom Silverstein at JSOnline. "Now, he will be available for call-up, possibly as a replacement for Chad Clifton should Clifton wind up on injured reserve because of his hamstring pull." To make room for Campbell, the Packers relased Paul Fenaroli who was only with the team for a week.

On Tuesday, players spoke about the communication errors that plagued them in their most recent game against the San Diego Chargers. "The Packers spent part of Tuesday watching the film of Sunday’s game and after taking a day off Wednesday will return to practice Thursday to begin preparations for Monday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field," reports Rob Demovsky of the Press-Gazette. "The film reiterated what can happen when communication breaks down, so the focus this week will be on correcting those errors, which almost always happen before the snap."

More on the communication issues come from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, ESPNMilwaukee.com and the Packers official website.

Linebacker Frank Zombo met the media and put a human face on a difficult situation in which he suffered his third injury this season this past Sunday. "I feel like I'm stealing in a way," Zombo told Fox Sports Wisconsin. "I want to get out there and play and I want to earn my check. These injuries are keeping me from doing that.” Zombo sustained a hamstring injury against the Chargers that will very likely keep him out at least from the next game against the Vikings.

Using linebacker Desmond Bishop on the blitz is looked at closely by Tyler Dunne of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "He would like to offer his services to help take pressure off Matthews," writes Dunne, "but he understands there's a team element to the game and he has other responsibilities. On Sunday, for instance, he got stuck covering tight end Antonio Gates a good number of times." Bishop has a team-leading four sacks this season.
