GREEN BAY, Wis. --?Jared Cook, Ty Montgomery and Sam Barrington were activated off the Green Bay Packers physically unable to perform list Tuesday. But the bigger news is that Jordy Nelson was not.Nelsons return remains in the air, while quarterback Aaron Rodgers will finally get the chance to work with Cook, the Packers lone free-agent signing on offense, for the first time in full pads. Rodgers will also get to work with Montgomery for the first time since he went on injured reserve last season.Theres a chance, though, that Rodgers and Nelson might not get any work together before the regular season. Nelson experienced a setback with his left knee this summer while putting the finishing touches on the rehab work with his right ACL, the injury that kept him out all of last season. He is almost sure?to miss Fridays preseason game against the Cleveland Browns at Lambeau Field, and Rodgers in recent years has played very little in the preseason, including just the first two games last year.Jordy, I know what hes all about, Rodgers said. I can throw to him to spots probably with my eyes closed sometimes, but it would be nice to get out there with Jared and Ty at some point. Practice would be the most important thing, and then if we get the chance in the game, that would be great, too.Nelson and center Corey Linsley (hamstring) are the only remaining players on the Packers PUP list.Cook, who signed a one-year, $2.75 million contract with the Packers in March, underwent foot surgery in June. Montgomery hasnt played since Week 6 of last season and recently detailed to ESPN.com just how severe his ankle injury was. Barrington hasnt played since Week 1 of last season, when he suffered a foot injury.While all three returned to practice Tuesday, its unlikely they will play against the Browns.Its not even a sure thing that Rodgers will play. He would not have played in last Sundays Hall of Fame game even if it had not been canceled because of poor field conditions.Really, the focus is more on [backup quarterback]?Brett Hundley and our two young guys, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. Thats the target we need to hit as far as giving those three men the opportunity and amount of work. Im more worried about them three than I am about Aaron Rodgers.The only thing certain for Rodgers is that he will practice this week. He hasnt done anything since last Wednesday, sitting out Thursdays practice because he wasnt going to play in the Hall of Fame Game on Sunday.Rodgers said he worked out on the field in Canton, Ohio on Sunday well before the game.I think I was probably the only guy who worked out on Sunday, because I was out there so early running around and doing some stuff with our strength staff, he said.Rodgers said it was during that workout that he realized the game probably wasnt going to be played.I noticed right away the end zones were firm, Rodgers said. It was like a plastic consistency, and I was surprised by that. When I went out the second time to see if Scott [Tolzien] maybe was going to be out there and Andrew [Luck], I could tell there was something going on. They made the decision in the interest of player safety. The substance they were trying to get the paint off with, I can promise you, was not health-conscious at all. So I think they ultimately made the right decision.The tough part is you have so many fans there who paid money to be at the game, so thats the disappointing part. And then obviously with Marquise and Joe getting a chance, and any of the healthy young players, but those guys in my room, it wouldve been fun to see those guys play. Omar Narvaez Jersey .

With the first unit struggling of late and Amir Johnson - one of the teams iron men - hobbling on an injured right ankle, Patterson knew he could get the nod in a challenging matchup against one of the leagues up and coming players at his position. DURHAM, N.C. -- One by one over the past few years, Duke has taken care of nearly every item on its program-building checklist.The Blue Devils have posted three straight winning seasons. Theyve won an Atlantic Coast Conference divisional championship and played for a league title. Theyve reached four straight bowls, finally winning one.Now Duke wants to take yet another step forward and win a conference title.That will be a big challenge in a league that has two College Football Playoff contenders in Clemson and Florida State, but its another sign of progress that the Blue Devils goal cant be summarily dismissed.We have high expectations, which is a good thing when it comes to Duke football, coach David Cutcliffe said, and we know they have set their sights high.Bowls have become an every-year thing at Duke. Nobody on this years roster knows what its like to miss the postseason. Thats a 180-degree turn from the late 1990s and 2000s, when the Blue Devils went 17 years between bowl appearances and went winless four times in that span.Duke is coming off its first bowl victory since 1961, an overtime win over Indiana in the Pinstripe Bowl, and the Blue Devils say ending a year with a win kept them hungry for more during the offseason.We love having that trophy. We love having the rings from that bowl game, quarterback Thomas Sirk said. We want to win another bowl game. We want to win an ACC championship and ultimately play in the College Football Playoff.Other things to watch for this season from Duke:SIRKS WORKSirk hopes to be ready for the opener Sept. 3 against North Carolina Central after rupturing his left Achilles tendon during a conditioning workout in February. Sirk missed the 2013 season after rupturing his right Achilles, and that familiarity with the comeback process has made this rehab easier.dddddddddddd He was listed as the starter on the preseason depth chart. Sirk -- a dual-threat QB who led the team in rushing last season and was co-MVP of the Pinstripe Bowl victory -- says he wont alter his style: I dont think its going to change who I am, he said.GROUND GAMEDuke ranked fifth in the ACC in rushing last season, and needs more from its stable of experienced running backs, none of whom averaged more than 46 yards in 2015. Cutcliffe says that starts up front with three starters back on an offensive line that he says could be the biggest, most physical offensive line wed had. He says the goal is to develop a power-running game thats less dependent on zone blocking and finesse.KEY GAMESTwo losses from 2015 haunt the Blue Devils: a 30-27 loss to Miami that led to a complete overhaul of the leagues instant replay system after numerous officiating errors were noted on the Hurricanes game-ending kickoff return for a touchdown, and the embarrassing 66-31 loss to rival North Carolina the following week. Duke faces the Tar Heels on Thursday night, Nov. 10, and ends the season at Miami on Nov. 28.SEASON OPENERDuke opens with crosstown opponent N.C. Central on Sept. 3, and the school will unveil the second phase of construction at remodeled Wallace Wade Stadium -- the crown jewel of which will be the five-story, 90,000-square-foot tower of boxes and luxury suites that replaced the sports medicine building that used to double as the press box.PREDICTIONWin 7, Lose 5.
