GREEN BAY MAKES NATIONAL TELEVISION DEBUT
-Packers fans around the country will get their first look at the 2007 team as Green Bay hosts Jacksonville in a nationally televised game on FOX.
-Kenny Albert and Daryl Johnston call the action in the booth with Tony Siragusa and Chris Myers serving as sideline reporters.
STARTERS SHOULD SEE PLENTY OF ACTION
-Customary for Week 3 around the NFL, projected regular-season starters are expected to see their most action of the preseason.
-
Brett Favre and the No. 1 offense rebounded nicely against Seattle after a slow start to the preseason. The group saw four series of action in both games, but was limited to just 12 plays in Pittsburgh after failing to record a first down. Favre led the offense to scores on three successive drives Saturday as the group had 22 plays from scrimmage.
-The defense looked strong again, limiting Seattle to just three points. A standout performance from safety
Atari Bigby - two sacks and a forced fumble - means he may push former high school teammate
Marquand Manuel for time at strong safety with the starting unit.
INJURY REPORT
-No position has been hit harder by injuries than the backfield, which took yet another hit Saturday night against Seattle.
-Running back
Vernand Morency, who is expected to compete for the starting job, has been sidelined after injuring his knee on the first day of training camp. Morency has yet to see any action in the preseason.
-In his absence,
Brandon Jackson, a second-round pick from Nebraska, has been seeing reps with the first team, while veteran
Noah Herron has continued his role from last season as a third-down back. In addition to Herron and Jackson, rookie
Corey White has been the only other running back to carry the football.
