Tauscher probable; White doubtful

Right tackle Mark Tauscher practiced on a limited basis today and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Carolina.

Tauscher did not practice Wednesday or Thursday because of the sprained ankle he suffered in last week's win over Minnesota.

Also probable are left tackle Chad Clifton (knee), guard Daryn Colledge (back), end Cullen Jenkins (knee), tight end Donald Lee (rib) and cornerback Charles Woodson (hip). They all were full participants today.

Special-teams ace Tracy White is the only player listed as doubtful. White, injured Nov. 4 at Kansas City, did not practice today. He played last week with his sprained ankle heavily taped.

* DT Justin Harrell, CB Al Harris, T Tony Moll and WR Koren Robinson were removed from the injury report.

* For Carolina, star WR Steve Smith (shin) missed practiced for the third straight day and is listed as questionable for Sunday, as is DT Damione Lewis (shoulder).

Safety Deke Cooper (shoulder), running back DeShawn Foster (toe) and CB Ken Lucas (hip) are probable.

Good to see that Tauscher will play. I wonder if GB is up like last week if Harrell will play. I think this is the first week I have seen him off the injury report in a long time.

Having White out is going to hurt. His injury doesn't look like a big deal on the surface but he'll be sorely missed on special teams. He's been a demon all year. I think he is in on every ST tackle.

He could/should very well make the Pro Bowl this year. Agreed, he's been a huge force on ST's all year.

Rest White this weekend, have him play the next two Thursday's, then he gets 10 days until the next game.

Injury reports - a reminder of how long the season can be and the wear and tear on the players. O-line has done a great job protecting Brett.... hope it continues...

If your doubtful, most likely, you play. So White probably plays like last week.

Tell Favre, he has 3 quarters to pad his HOF stats, then rest him and give Aaron Rogers a chance. And rest as many as possible of the others. IOW, empty the bench.

There is alot to say for a healthy team, look at the condition of the Colts right now

I think he will be back in a couple of games.

Actually, I think the NFL's definition of "doubtful" is that the player has a 25% chance of playing. "Questionable" is 50% and "probable" is 75%.
