Injury Report 9-17-07
McCarthy said offensive lineman Tony Palmer, initially diagnosed with a stinger from Sunday's game, actually has a small bone fracture in his neck. Palmer did not return to Green Bay with the team Sunday evening in order to run the medical tests but was en route back on Monday. McCarthy said Palmer was fine and in good spirits, and there was nothing to suggest a spinal cord injury. But it's possible Palmer's season could be over, and the Packers will make that decision after the team doctors get to see Palmer again.
Left tackle Chad Clifton's ankle injury, which forced him to miss one series in the second half on Sunday, does not appear to be serious. McCarthy said Clifton could miss some practice time this week but was optimistic he'd be ready for next Sunday's game.
Like last week, Morency (knee) will be put through a full practice on Wednesday to see if he responds to any soreness again. Thus far, Morency has not been able to emerge from a full practice pain-free and therefore hasn't played.
McCarthy also said receiver Greg Jennings might be held out of practice a bit longer this week to see if that gives his hamstring a better chance to heal. Like Morency, Jennings has missed the season's first two games.
