Best Will Start, Smith Active at Green Bay
Posted by cwywrot on October 3, 2010 – 11:30 amRookie RB Jahvid Best will start at Green Bay after missing the majority of the second half last week at Minnesota with a toe injury.
Best did not practice Wednesday or Thursday, but participated in limited fashion on Friday.
Said Head Coach Jim Schwartz on Friday, “The rest definitely helped him the first couple days of the week.”
Also notable, RB Kevin Smith will get his first regular season action of the year. Smith spent the offseason rehabbing after knee surgery last December and saw time in the preseason, but has not been active since.
Schwartz: “I think the thing that really made a big difference for Kevin was coming out of training camp and just getting into a regular season schedule. We tried to protect him as much as we could in camp, like not going three days in a row and not doing two-a-days, but still when you don’t get the same rest that you get during the season, particularly when he wasn’t playing on Sundays, I thought that made a big difference for him.”
Inactives for today’s game include:
- QB Matthew Stafford
- WR Nate Burleson
- RB Aaron Brown
- LB DeAndre Levy
- T Jason Fox
- G Manny Ramirez
- DE Willie Young
- DT Sammie Hill
