Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley has lost ...

Jul 30, 2011

Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley has lost almost 15 pounds and looks lean and fit.

But he’s going to take it easy for the first training camp practice of the 2011 season – just to be safe, he said, and nothing more.

"I’m going to do a little something, I’m not going to do any team drills," said Finley. "Besides that I’m going to run, do straight aheads; I’m going to do individual drills and stuff like that."

He said it was just to ease in to practice and added his knee rehabilitation is complete.

"My knees feel great. I'm just excited to be back."

Fantasy Impact:

Finley projects to be a top five tight end in 2011 if he stays healthy.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
