The Green Bay Packers are using this last week of practices to take long and hard looks at defensive backs Corey Ballentine and Innis Gaines, two players who have recently returned from injury.
Gaines has been sidelined with a quad injury since the week of the Packers’ first preseason game against Cincinnati. Ballentine suffered a stinger in that Bengals game, in which he was picked on a bit in coverage, and missed over a week of practices of his own. Before each players’ injuries, both players were taking on fairly significant roles in practice, and despite the missed time, both players have continued to do so.
