Bigby out for Sunday...team update


McCarthy: Bigby probably out this week

Some notes from coach Mike McCarthy's media conference today at Lambeau Field ...

* FB Korey Hall (knee) has a chance to play on Sunday against Dallas, but he won't practice until at least Friday.

* TE Tory Humphrey has a knee sprain. He played through it against Detroit, but it swelled up on him after. He'll also rest until Friday at least.

* Asked about the status of S Atari Bigby (hamstring) for Sunday's game, McCarthy said, "I don't think he's going to make it."

* CB Charles Woodson (toe) remains sore. He came out of Sunday's game "OK," but he'll probably be on the same schedule as last week. He missed that entire week of practice.

* On stopping Dallas WR Terrell Owens: "He's still playing at a very, very high level. We need to challenge him and we need to try to take away what he does best."

* Any insight gained from working with 13 Cowboys at last year's Pro Bowl? It's on an individual basis, but "hopefully, we can take advantage of that Sunday night."

* One of the Packers' nine installations they do in the offseason is driven toward facing a 3-4 defense. That's the Cowboys' base personnel, though they play an under front.

* C Scott Wells (back) is ahead of G Josh Sitton (knee) in terms of getting ready to play.

* Talk to CB Al Harris about his emotions before this game? "I don't share that opinion. I'm around him every day. ... I think Al Harris will line up and compete as he always does, and I think as a football team, we have to do better with the penalties."

* On Wells: "I think there's a chance he can play. ... We want to see Scott do as much as he can." Decision will be made after Friday's practice.

* RB Ryan Grant (hamstring) is "further ahead than he was last week."

Here's the Packers' full injury report:

S Atari Bigby (hamstring) did not participate
T Chad Clifton (knees) limited participation
DE Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (knee) full participation
RB Ryan Grant (hamstring) limited participation
FB Korey Hall (knee) did not participate
TE Tory Humphrey (knee) did not participate
WR Ruvell Martin (finger) full participation
G Josh Sitton (knee) limited participation
C Scott Wells (back) limited participation
CB Charles Woodson (toe) did not participate
