Thursday in positive step forward Tiger Woods and Aaron Rodgers have something in common: They’re back. After injuring his knee (are we even sure to this moment exactly what the injury is?) against the Chicago Bears Color Rush Jimmy Graham Jersey , Rodgers hasn’t been able to practice regularly during the week as he rehabs. The last two weeks, he only practiced Sa ... ay during the Green Bay Packers’ traditional light session in final preparation for the game. Rodgers practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, but even that is a step in the right direction. Mike McCarthy spoke of the importance of having Rodgers at practice on Wednesday, so perhaps it’s no surprise to see QB1 on the practice field the very next day.Off-target throws, drops, and missed opportunities marred Green Bay’s Week 3 tilt with Washington, but the offense appeared to be close to breaking out. As McCarthy noted this week, it’s hard for an offense to get into a rhythm when its quarterback isn’t practicing. There’s no opportunity for growth. It’s fair to point to that lack of practice reps and wonder if it has affected the cohesion of this offense. McCarthy said it best when he pointed out if they didn’t think practice was important Youth Mike Daniels Jersey , they wouldn’t practice. So while Rodgers can play, and play well without practice, it’s not as helpful to the team as if he were out there. Getting Rodgers back not only portends well for his injured knee, but potentially for this offense. Having him back in the mix for practice should help this offense get in a groove for a much-needed get right game against the Bills in Week 4.Here’s a look at the Packers’ full injury report on Thursday, which included one new name: Randall Cobb, who was limited with a hamstring issue. Meanwhile, two other players were upgraded from non-participants on Wednesday to limited participants on Thursday.Packers Thursday Injury ReportDid Not ParticipateG Justin McCray (shoulder)OLB Nick Perry (concussion)DL Muhammad Wilkerson (ankle)Limited ParticipationOT Bryan Bulaga (back)WR Randall Cobb (hamstring - was not listed on Wednesday)TE Jimmy Graham (knee - upgraded from DNP on Wednesday)S Josh Jones (ankle)CB Kevin King (groin - upgraded from DNP on Wednesday)QB Aaron Rodgers (ankle - upgraded from DNP on Wednesday)Packers rookie CB Jaire Alexander records first preseason interception It took two preseason games for Green Bay Packers second-round draft pick Josh Jackson to get his first interception. First-round cornerback Jaire Alexander refused to be outdone.After sitting out the Packers’ preseason opener, Alexander played limited snaps in the second game against the Steelers. However Color Rush Geronimo Allison Jersey , he has been on the field almost the entire first half for the Packers’ defense against the Oakland Raiders in his second game (the Packers’ third), and he landed his first pick as a professional in the second quarter.Alexander was covering Dwayne Harris, who ran a deep post and appeared to get behind the rookie. However, Connor Cook’s pass was a little bit underthrown, allowing Alexander to reach up and make a magnificent catch. Take a look here:Hopefully this is the first of many, many interceptions for Alexander this season and in his Packers career. Jackson does still have one advantage over Alexander so far, however; he took his pick last week back for a touchdown.
