Green Bay - The following is a summary of coach Mike McCarthy's pre-practice press conference Wednesday:
- (On Abbrederis watching practice yesterday) Yeah, he’s getting better. The medical staff feels like he’s taking more steps, but as far as being out on the field and what he’s doing during the course of the rehab, it’s just another example of where he’s at in the protocol.
- (Is he able to work out?): Well, there’s different steps, and that’s one of them. But he’s going through it.
- (On Cobb) I think important for everybody, coaches to stay focuse on what they need to do. That's not to ask or put pressure on anyone to do more. Every player has a distinct role and things we feel they do best and we have to stay the course. We understand the player Jordy is but we're not asking anybody to replace Jordy Nelson.
- (On Rodgers playing) Every decision is made, practice games, is done with risk assessment. Every decision I've made I'm very comfortable with.
- (On offensive line injuries) All injuries do. That's why we wait. We'll practice today. Medical staff will evaluate every one.
- (On whether Rodgers not playing) Depends on practice this week.
- (On evaluating guys) Every practice is graded the same. Yesterday's practice was cut back after long stretch between New England and Pittsburgh. It's all weighted the same.
- (On young receivers) It's about production, consistency. I think every player that's fighting for a spot, it's about special teams. Not a wide open competition.
- (On Montgomery lining up multiple positions) He can play inside and outside. It's important to get him reps out there. It's timing with the quarterback and principles and detail. It's getting him the reps.
- (On LT) We'll see. Dave potentially may go today.
- (On Datone Jones) I wouldn't say it's a major concern. I don't
- (On Tolzien) He's still in the concussion protocol. He needs to play as much as possible, but we got a good look at him.
- (On Hundley and Blanchard playing Sat) It will be a big game for them.
