Randall Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Notebook: Pickett, Driver will be back soon By Tom Pelissero tpelisse@greenbaypressgazette.com Two of the Green Bay Packers' most notable training-camp absences could end in the next day or two. Defensive tackle Ryan Pickett on Monday passed the conditioning test he failed last week, and receiver Donald Driver's injured shoulder apparently passed a re-examination Sunday night. Coach Mike McCarthy said he hoped Driver and defensive tackle Johnny Jolly would practice today, with Pickett joining them by Thursday. Pickett and Jolly have missed four training camp practices since failing a team-conducted running test Friday. They took the same test together Monday and passed, Pickett said. With flying colors? "If you can call it flying colors," Pickett said, laughing. "I made my time, but … any pass is good." Driver, a surprise scratch because of a lingering right shoulder injury sustained in December, was coy when asked about his latest examination but said he believed he passed the physical. "Y'all see me out there at 8:45 (a.m.)," Driver said, smiling, "y'all know I'm ready to go." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
