Packers' Don Jackson: Full practice Wednesday

Jackson (hand) practiced fully Wednesday, Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Prior to Wednesday's session, head coach Mike McCarthy told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com that Jackson will have "to go through the half-line drill and the full physical team" Thursday, which will "give us direction on how we proceed Sunday." A full practice to start the week shouldn't be a check mark against the undrafted rookie, but he was partaking with a protective wrap on his left hand with finger holes cut out. If he can prove that ball security won't be an issue, he would be primed to play a part in the Packers' beleaguered backfield. What that role may be is contingent upon Knile Davis' knowledge of the playbook and the precedent Ty Montgomery (illness) set in his featured role from Week 7.
