Packers' Don Jackson: Faring well with protective glove

Jackson has fared well with the protective glove on his left hand during this week's practices, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. "He looked good," head coach Mike McCarthy said Thursday. "He's got that contraption that he's dealing with, but I thought he handled the football very well."

Analysis:

Jackson logged another uninhibited session Thursday, which in conjunction with McCarthy's comments is paving the way for active status Sunday in Atlanta. In the current iteration of the Packers' backfield, Jackson is likely behind both Ty Montgomery and Knile Davis, the latter of whom has been cramming in order to become familiar with the playbook. Additionally, McCarthy implied Wednesday that Davis should receive more work in Week 8 than his debut last Thursday, which could put Jackson further behind the eight ball in terms of touches.
