Free-agent TE Jermichael Finley (neck) will be healed in four to eight weeks and is hopeful of being cleared to play football again. According to his agent, his neurosurgeon told him that he has a 99.9 percent chance the neck fusion will fully heal.

Footballguys View: The Packers are always careful with injuries like this-for an example, see how they shut down the return of Nick Collins-but with Finley entering free agency, they don’t have much say. If he’s cleared someone will give the athletic but inconsistent tight end a shot.
