Aaron Kampman has been there for Green Bay Packers rookie Brad Jones all year, sharing the subtle tricks and techniques he has learned on the field and in the film room through seven-plus NFL seasons. The Packers can't count on Kampman anymore, but Jones still will. Jones credits Kampman for the improvement he has made since coming to Green Bay as a seventh-round pick out of Colorado. And while players sometimes fade into the background after sustaining season-ending injuries, Jones hopes...Read Full Story

The Green Bay Packers are hoping to bolster their postseason chances with a win at Detroit on Thanksgiving. Recent history suggests the Lions will be accommodating hosts. Detroit has lost five straight games on the holiday by an average of 23.4 points since beating the Packers in 2003, and its worst game this season was at Green Bay. The Lions (2-8), though, are enjoying a positive buzz they haven't had since starting 6-2 two years ago. They rallied from a 21-point deficit to beat Cleveland...Read Full Story

Despite two losses to Brett Favre and the division rival Minnesota Vikings in the first half of the season, at least the Green Bay Packers were beating the teams they're supposed to. Until now. Green Bay was reeling Monday after blowing a fourth-quarter lead to a previously winless Tampa Bay team starting a rookie quarterback. Now 4-4 at the season's halfway mark, a team expected to make a serious playoff push now finds itself on the verge of a free fall going into Sunday's home game against...Read Full Story

It was with a heavy heart that I read about Johnny Jolly suspension from the Packers today. They have suspended him for the 2010 season , but essentially they’ve said “see ya!” for good. He had try and get reinstated after the Super Bowl. He did it to himself, of course.

He’s in a heap of trouble with the law, and I suppose keeping him on the team would have been a bigger...Read Full Story

The Green Bay Packers feared the worst after watching two of their top defensive players get carted to the locker room Sunday, and things didn't look any better the next morning. Cornerback Al Harris and linebacker Aaron Kampman will both have season-ending knee surgery. Coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that losing the two veterans will be a major challenge to the Packers (6-4), who are in the middle of the NFC wild card race after Sunday's victory over San Francisco. With a Thanksgiving Day...Read Full Story

Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Jeremy Thompson was hospitalized for testing Friday after suffering a neck injury in a collision with running back Kregg Lumpkin during practice. Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Thompson remained conscious after the neck stinger. Thompson, a second-year player out of Wake Forest who plays primarily on special teams, missed the Packers' first two preseason games because of a shoulder stinger earlier this year. McCarthy would not initially say whether...Read Full Story
