Taking into account that it's the preseason, many of the players sitting on the sidelines tonight would normally be on the field if it was a meaningful game. With that said, I'm sure most fans would like to know who they should expect to see this evening. For that reason, I've done by best to create an accurate injury report -- official reports are not posted until week one of the regular season.

Green Bay Packers:

Out: Running back Vernand Morency (knee), running back P.J. Pope (knee), running back DeShawn Wynn (quad) and fullback Brandon Miree (stinger).

Questionable: Cornerback Al Harris (back), guard Tony Palmer (undisclosed), defensive end Devon Hicks (groin), tackle Orrin Thompson (back) and cornerback Charles Woodson (hamstring)

Probable: Safety Marviel Underwood (knee), defensive end Aaron Kampman (knee), linebacker Abdul Hodge (knee), wide receiver Greg Jennings (hip), tackle Chad Clifton (knees), tight end Bubba Franks (cornea) and linebacker Nick Barnett (back).

After sitting out all of last season with a torn ACL, Green Bay Packers safety Marviel Underwood returned to the field much earlier than expected.

Safety Marviel Underwood, who wasn't expected to participate in any team (11-on-11) drills until training camp, slipped into the defensive backfield for a few snaps during the team red zone sequence on Monday.

The former fourth-round draft pick (2005) practiced yesterday [as noted] for the first time since the preseason of last year and by all accounts, looked pretty good. At one point he actually went one-on-one with a receiver in the red zone and came away with a deflection.

This is great news for the Packers, who have been dealing with all sorts of little, annoying injuries this offseason. And while they are not exactly thin at safety, this just adds another quality talent to the battle for the starting job.
