Thu, 29 Mar 2012 07:38:29 -0700 Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said if he had to do it all over again, he'd still rest QB Aaron Rodgers in the meaningless Week 17 finale against the Detroit Lions with homefield advantage wrapped up. Some critics believe rust was the reason the Packers lost to the New York Giants in the NFC divisional playoffs. "As far as sitting players, I wouldn't change that at all," McCarthy said. "A fresh team is the best team because you can accomplish the things you need to accomplish leading up to that game if you go about it the right way."
Sun, 25 Mar 2012 13:26:16 -0700 Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said FS Nick Collins (neck) will have to be fully recovered from his neck injury and cleared by doctors before playing again for the team. Collins has said he will retire if he is told he could further injure his neck by playing.
Tue, 10 Jan 2012 05:06:31 -0800 Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said he is not concerned with some New York Giants players guaranteeing victory in their Divisional Round playoff matchup. "I would expect a team playing in the Divisional playoff round to think they should win the game," McCarthy said. "We fully expect to win the game. What are they supposed to say, 'We're going to lose'?"
Mon, 26 Dec 2011 06:33:31 -0800 Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said he will play to win the game in Week 17; however, he also added that he wants his team to get healthy entering the playoffs. "We're going to play to win the game next week," McCarthy said. "I'm not real comfortable with a division opponent coming in here and not thinking we're going to play to get win No. 15." QB Aaron Rodgers added he thinks the team should worry more about getting healthy with the No. 1 seed in the NFC locked up. "I think we need to get healthy," Rodgers said. "That's the main thing. Now that we have the top seed sewed up, the priorities may shift a bit."
Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:53:09 -0800 Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said LB A.J. Hawk (calf) will be able to practice Wednesday, Dec. 14. McCarthy said Hawk was ready to play Week 14 but the team decided to hold him out.

Fri, 01 Jul 2011 07:07:49 -0700 Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers doesn't have any problem heading into the 2011 season as the team defends their Super Bowl championship without having had any player-run practices. Rodgers made it clear it's not an issue for him, his coach or his teammates. "We did have a great gathering in Green Bay a few Thursdays ago," Rodgers said. "Other than that, we haven't had anything official. And the reasoning is that guys' schedules and the risk-reward, which I think (coach) Mike McCarthy hit on. So I'm going to allow his comments to kind of answer that question as he did a couple of weeks ago. Mike has always been a big supporter of the work we do individually. I'll just refer to what Mike said as far as some of that stuff goes and just leave it at that."

Sun, 20 Jun 2010 07:19:31 -0700 Green Bay Packers DT B.J. Raji is feeling more comfortable in the team's 3-4 defense this offseason after Green Bay has had Raji focus mainly on the starting nose tackle position, reports the Green Bay Press Gazette's Kareem Copeland. Getting over an ankle injury that sidelined him at times last year has helped, too. "The comfort level is a lot better and that's something that came over time," Raji said. "That particular ankle injury I didn't know it was as severe as it was at the time. ... This year, I'm more of a focal point as far as the starting lineup is concerned. I'm worried about that right now." Head coach Mike McCarthy has also been impressed by Raji's commitment to the weight room during the offseason.
Sat, 13 Mar 2010 08:51:31 -0800 Tom Silverstein, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy seemed to indicate the team may be close to re-signing free-agent OT Mark Tauscher.

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 20:21:30 -0800 Pete Dougherty, of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, reports the Green Bay Packers can only be seeded No. 5 or No. 6 in the postseason. The team's coaching staff will need to decide how much to play their key players Week 17, but early indications are head coach Mike McCarthy will play his normal starts, and possibly even extensively. Defensive coordinator Dom Capers said, "I'm not going to speak for Mike, but I know how he feels about momentum."
Mon, 21 Dec 2009 09:23:35 -0800 Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said following Week 15 that the Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive personnel groups on first and second down influenced his decision to throw the football more often during the game. The Steelers played a lot of base defense on first and second down, and as a result, the Packers had just 12 total rushing attempts in the game for 60 yards. RB Ryan Grant led the team's rushers with 37 yards on eight carries, but 24 yards came on one touchdown run. "Well, frankly, I think it was more the way they played us to our personnel groups," McCarthy said. "They played a lot of base defense on first and second down, and that's really why I went the direction I did with our passing game."
Mon, 14 Dec 2009 11:10:58 -0800 Tom Pelissero, of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, reports Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged that the team needs to improve their red-zone efficiency, but changes will not be made to how the team approaches the situation. "The first part is our red-zone possessions are close to where they need to be. Getting down there enough, but need to score more touchdowns. We're not designing new plays and new things, and frankly, that's not the answer. Our production needs to improve in the red zone, no doubt about it," McCarthy said.
Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:20:55 -0700 Tom Silverstein, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports the Green Bay Packers ran the football 41 times for 202 yards in Week 7, the most they have run the ball in 56 games under head coach Mike McCarthy and the most overall since attempting 47 in the 2004 season opener.

Bedard, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports Green Bay Packers SS Atari Bigby (knee) missed the team's practice Monday, Oct. 12, but he had a sprinted rehabilitation workout on the side.

"He looks good," head coach Mike McCarthy said. "He can't do everything right now. Some of it has lingered. Everyone is excited he got it fixed and they feel confident about it. If he's ready earlier (than training camp), it will be a bonus." Jenkins is also rehabbing from arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle.
Wed, 25 Mar 2009 10:57:30 -0700 Tom Silverstein, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports Green Bay Packers LB Nick Barnett (knee) is ahead of schedule in his rehab from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. "We're encouraged with him," head coach Mike McCarthy said. "I saw him in the weight room Thursday and Friday. He's going back, and they feel very good about where he's at."
Tue, 24 Feb 2009 07:32:42 -0800 Bob McGinn, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said FS Nick Collins will play at free safety and play deep in the team's 3-4 defensive alignment.

"I met with [team physician Pat McKenzie] [Monday], and this is the best Aaron's felt coming out of the game. I don't think he was hit in the football game, so that definitely helps," McCarthy said.
Fri, 14 Nov 2008 12:29:50 -0800 Pete Dougherty, of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, reports Green Bay Packers DL Justin Harrell (knee) was limited during practice Friday, nov. 14.

"You know, I don't respect that," Woodson said. "If they call him and he gives them information, that's one thing. But to seek a team out and feel like, I guess, you're trying to sabotage this team, I don't respect that. I know he's been the greatest player around here for a long time, but there's no honor in that."

He noted he, general manager Ted Thompson and head coach Mike McCarthy were in agreement with every decision the team made.
