Burnett (calf) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Jason Wilde of ESPN Wisconsin reports.

Analysis:

Burnett has been rock solid in his fifth NFL campaign, totaling 58 tackles (44 solo) and one forced fumble in seven contests. Because the injury emerged suddenly, his absence Wednesday may be a precautionary measure. As a result, his practice participation should be watched with a keen eye as the week continues to ensure he's active Sunday at New Orleans.
