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.
