Packers Calendar: Keeping an Eye on Nick Perry's Wrist

The Packers linebacker will be listed on the team's injury report when it's released on Thursday.

There appears to be some confusion about Green Bay Packers linebacker Nick Perry and his injured wrist.

Perry was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's injury report by the Packers, the first of the week. But when asked by reporters, head coach Mike McCarthy called him a "full" participant.

There's concern about Perry because a broken wrist ended his rookie season after just six games, having been placed on season-ending injured reserve.

McCarthy either didn't know or declined to say whether Perry's injury was related to the one suffered in 2012.

And that's on top of a broken bone in his heel that forced him to miss five games in 2013.

So far this season, Perry hasn't missed a game, but his injury history makes him worth monitoring as the week progresses.

The Packers practice again on Thursday as they continue to get ready for this upcoming Sunday's game against the Bears in Chicago.

After practice, another injury report will again be released, and a couple of players will be closely scrutinized to see whether they can go from limited to full participation.

In addition to Perry, fellow linebackers Clay Matthews (groin) and Brad Jones (quad) were also listed as limited participants on Wednesday.

Head coach Mike McCarthy will have an update during a press conference at 1:30 p.m. CT to be streamed live online at Packers.com.

Then during the evening hours, Packers safety Micah Hyde will host his weekly radio show with a yet-to-be-named guest on 1 on 1 with the Boys on 101.1 FM WIXX in Green Bay.

The show will be streamed live online at WIXX.com from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.

Is Nick Perry related to Justin Harrell. TT loves to draft those injury prone guys.

I'm confused - was there anything about his wrist on the injury report or are you just speculating? It's not really clear in the post.

I'm not sure how much more clear I can be in the first and second paragraphs. What are you confused about?

I'm confused as to whether the wrist was specifically mentioned on the injury report.

I get that there was confusion as to whether Perry was a full or limited participant at practice, but I'm just asking if his wrist was listed on the injury report. I don't think that's clearly stated.

"So far this season, Perry hasn't missed a game,"

This seems to indicate he at least still knows how to dress for a game.

My head explodes with every single attempt to justify a reason for Nick Perry.
