The calf is slowly progressing. I wasnt out there today, but were right where we need to be in getting ready to hopefully get on the field next week.The Packers practiced after coach Mike McCarthy gave the players most of the week off with having a bye in the first round of the playoffs.Rodgers injured his left calf late in the first half of Green Bays final regular-season game last Sunday, then returned to the game midway through the third quarter to lead the Packers to a 30-20 win over the Detroit Lions.The victory earned Green Bay a fourth straight NFC North title and the No. 2 playoff seed in the NFC.Aarons doing well, McCarthy said.

CB Davon House returned to practice after being out the last three games with a shoulder injury. . Rodgers and Kuhn were Green Bays first-team honorees in the All-Pro voting. Since I was a kid, Ive been looking at people who have been All-Pro and saying, Wow, man, theyre really good. Theyre the best at their position. To have that side by side with my name, it truly is a blessing, said Kuhn, a nine-year pro who was a second-team choice in 2011. LG Josh Sitton repeated as a second-team selection. .
