Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said Friday, July 26, that QBs B.J. Coleman and Graham Harrell are splitting reps down the middle, and they will both have an opportunity to win the backup job in training camp and the preseason season.

Green Bay Packers OT Derek Sherrod (leg) has made progress, and head coach Mike McCarthy was optimistic Friday, July 26. He said Sherrod looked ‘very good’ in conditioning drills Thursday, July 25, although there is still no timetable for his return. Sherrod opens camp on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.

Footballguys View: Sherrod was a first-round pick two years ago, but he has contributed little to nothing to the Packers, and it doesn’t sound like it’s a sure thing that he’ll be able to even be the team’s swing tackle in camp this year while he is still dealing with lasting issues from the broken tibia and fibula that ended his rookie year in 2011.

Green Bay Packers DE Mike Neal (abdomen) and CB Casey Hayward (hamstring) are still ‘a couple of weeks away,’ according to head coach Mike McCarthy Friday, July 26. Neal begins camp on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.

Footballguys View: Neal is yet another recent Packers pick who can’t seem to stay on the field for long. Hayward was a revelation, playing at an all-pro level right out of the gate last year. The Packers need him to be healthy to compete in the stacked NFC side of the bracket.

Green Bay Packers RB DuJuan Harris (knee) is dealing with a knee injury, and head coach Mike McCarthy said Friday, July 26, that Harris will be out ‘a week or two.’ Harris was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.

Footballguys View: Harris might miss out on a wide-open backfield competition that he had a chance to win part of this summer. He was the best incumbent back on the roster and an important part of the offense late in the season and in the playoffs. Now he might struggle to make the team. Harris still looks like he has an NFL future, but his short-term outlook is undoubtedly hurt by this injury.
