Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy is optimistic about the potential for TE Jermichael Finley (neck) to resume his playing career based on the reports from team doctor Patrick McKenzie. “Pat (McKenzie) doesn’t feel the same way about Jermichael as he felt about Nick (Collins),” McCarthy said. “So I’m very open and optimistic about Jermichael coming back. I think the specifics of their injuries are different.’

Footballguys View: Good news for Finley here, although he may not be back with the team in 2014. Finley’s neck injury was once thought to be career-threatening. Now it looks like he could be back on the field this year.

Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Norv Turner and quarterbacks coach Scott Turner met with Virginia Tech QB Logan Thomas Thursday, Feb. 20.

Footballguys View: Thomas has the size of Daunte Cullpepper, but he has the accuracy of Derek Anderson on a bad day. The Vikings need a starting quarterback, not a developmental guy like Thomas.

New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin is not sure of RB David Wilson’s (neck) status for both the offseason program and the fall. ‘I really don’t know the answer to that question,’ Coughlin said. ‘I think a lot has to do with his attitude, the way he feels, the way the doctors and trainers obviously feel. He’s not going to be put out there unless he’s ready for that. I’m not even sure how he’s going to be limited in the spring. I saw him about four or five days ago and he’s that same bouncy personality. He’s very pleased with where he’s at right now. He’s able to do work with his legs for example, not as a heavy-duty thing but in a lighter capacity. He’s excited about that. He looks good, he feels good. He doesn’t have a lot of pain. I’m excited about that.
