Notebook: Rodgers Doubtful For Sunday
Rodgers was listed as doubtful on Friday's injury report, defined as "at least a 75 percent chance he will not play," but McCarthy wasn't ready to make any declarations of who will be the Packers' starting quarterback on Sunday night.
"Just as I've stated all week, we're prepared to play the game with Matt Flynn as our starter," McCarthy said. "We've started that process since Monday. As far as an update on Aaron Rodgers, he's progressing through the medical process. He was able to attend probably three-quarters of the practice today, and he'll continue to work through that process today and tomorrow.
"I'm hopeful to make a decision by tomorrow, but the door is open for Aaron Rodgers to play in the game. It really comes down to two things. No. 1, he has to be cleared medically, and Dr. John Gray will have the final say on that. And if he does make it to that point, then (I) will make a decision on whether he plays or not. Right now he's still working through the medical part."
The first hurdle that Rodgers has to clear as part of the concussion protocol is a conditioning test, but McCarthy declined to say whether the quarterback had done that yet.
"He's working his way through the process," McCarthy said. "I really don't want to get into specifics of that. There are stages that you work through. If you're educated on it, that's great. This is really a standard policy as far as the details.
"If Aaron wants to share the step-by-step process that he's going through, that's fine. But he's making progress, and I talked to him today. He looks good, would like to play. But once again, him and Dr. John Gray are working through this, and until he's cleared medically, then it comes to me."
McCarthy had stated throughout the week that Rodgers' availability would not be a decision that the team would take up until game-time, but on Friday he said that it wouldn't necessarily be one that is made before the team depar LaBoy, Briggs in fierce competition Veteran, up-and-comer both playing well for 49ers at outside linebacker By PHIL BARBER Exhibition games are supposed to answer questions for NFL teams. But they can just as easily create questions. The 49ers went into Sunday night's game against the Minnesota Vikings hoping to shed light on the situation at outside linebacker. Travis LaBoy and Diyral Briggs only clouded the issue with dual-core defensive excellence. This team will probably carry seven or eight linebackers in 2010. Barring injury, the roster should include Patrick Willis, Takeo Spikes, Manny Lawson, Parys Haralson, Matt Wilhelm and NaVorro Bowman. Assuming Ahmad Brooks hasn't damaged his kidney more severely than anticipated – we could find out more this week – he should be there, too. That leaves maybe one more spot at linebacker, and Briggs and LaBoy are threatening to put on quite a show in their pursuit of the job. For much of August, Briggs seemed to enjoy the inside track. He is only 24 years old (he'll turn 25 on Halloween, the day the 49ers play the Broncos in London), and is still learning the game, yet has frequently distinguished himself on the practice field, with sacks (of the two-hand touch variety) and interceptions. Briggs was at it again Sunday night. On one Minnesota possession in the fourth quarter, he tripped up Joe Webb two yards downfield to prevent a big gain, and two plays later pressured the agile quarterback into an incompletion. On the Vikings' next possession, he sacked Webb for an 8-yard loss. But LaBoy is not giving up without a fight. After missing 12 days of camp with a concussion, he seemed to be at a disadvantage after returning last week. LaBoy turned 29 on Aug. 20, and has a history of injuries, including multiple concussions. His last meaningful game time was for Arizona in Super Bowl XLIII — 20 months ago. Since returning to action, though, LaBoy has jumped righ Fullback Herdis McCrary was the first Packer to wear 53 in 1933. He was followed by tackle Ade Schwammel (1934), tackle Lou Gordon (1936), center Bud Svendsen (1939), end Dick Evans (1940), center Bob Ingalls (1942 and fullback Don Perkins (1944) in the Lambeau era. In the modern era, 53 has been worn by two centers and 17 linebackers. C: Dave Stephenson (1953-55) and Ken Iman (1960-63) LB: George Timberlake (1955), Sam Palumbo (1957), Fred Carr (1968-77), Frank Chesley (1978), Mike Douglass (1979-85), Bobby Leopold (1986), Miles Turpin (1986), Aric Anderson (1987r), John Corker (1988), George Koonce (1992-99), Mike Morton (2000), Andre O’Neal (2001), Paris Lenon (2002-05), Spencer Havner (2008), Maurice Simpkins (2010), Diyral Briggs (2010) and Nick Perry (2012-18). The longest gaps when no Packer wore the number were from 1945-52 and 1964-67. Fred Carr and Mad Dog Douglass were the best Packers to don it. They and Bud Svendsen are all members of the Packer Hall of Fame. Carr wore it longest at 10 years, but Douglass and Nick Perry wore it for seven and George Koonce for eight. First four custom cards are colorized. On this day in 1892, Richard “Jab” Murray was born in Oconto, Wisconsin. Murray grew up in Marinette and attended high school there where he played football, basketball and baseball. In baseball, he primarily was a pitcher and spent several years playing semipro ball in the area. Murray attended Marquette University and the 220 pounder starred as a tackle on the gridiron from 1917-19, with a detour into the Army in 1918. Jab was stationed at Camp Hancock in Georgia and played Army football. After graduating from Marquette law school, he was admitted to the bar in 1920. Jab joined the Packers in their first year in the NFL in 1921 and appeared in 22 games with Green Bay from 1921-24. He also played eight games for Racine in 1922. Murray is mentioned in the Green Bay Press-Gazette on October 18 as gearing up for the Sunday match wi People from the State of Ohio The following is a list of famous people born in the U.S. state of Ohio, and people who spent significant periods of their lives living in Ohio.
