The Packers are blessed with enough offensive options that their backups get more attention than some teams’ starters.
And they got two guys they haven’t seen enough of back on the field Monday.
Via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, backup quarterback Brett Hundley and wide receiver Jeff Janis returned to practice today.
Janis has been out since Aug. 10 with a broken hand, and was practicing with a large club-type cast on. While that complicates the life of a person who catches things for a living, Janis would be able to take part in special teams with such an apparatus.
Hundley has only played in one preseason game, but unlike Aaron Rodgers, that wasn’t on purpose. He’s been bothered by an ankle injury throughout camp that has left most of the reps they were planning to give him in the hands of undrafted rookies Joe Callahan and Marquise Williams.
The Packers also announced the first six of their cuts. They released defensive tackle Demetris Anderson, cornerback Randall Jette, wide receiver Jamel Johnson, linebacker Derrick Mathews, punter Peter Mortell and wide receiver Ed Williams.
