GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -Pro Bowl wide receiver Donald Driver has received a contract extension and a raise from the Green Bay Packers. ``We added money to get Donald paid like the Pro Bowl receiver he is,'' agent Jordan Woy said Monday in an e-mail to The Associated Press. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported that Driver was given a one-year extension through the 2010 season, adding almost $11 million to his existing deal. Most of that money comes in the final year of the new deal, as Driver would make a |

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -With the Lambeau Field grandstands packed and his closest competitor sidelined by an injury, Saturday's ``Family Night'' scrimmage was a chance for rookie running back Brandon Jackson to show fans what the Green Bay Packers saw in him on draft day. Jackson certainly wasn't the star of the show on Saturday night - those roles, as always, went to Brett Favre and his top receiver, Donald Driver - but Jackson did show a few signs that he has the ability to become a viable running back for |

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -The Green Bay Packers went into training camp looking a little bit shaky at running back. Now they're banged up, too. Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that the knee injury sustained by projected starter Vernand Morency was worse than the team's medical staff originally thought, and that he now expects Morency to be out ``a couple'' of weeks. The good news: McCarthy said Morency probably won't need arthroscopic surgery. ``I don't think so, no,'' McCarthy said. ``(Team doctor) |
