Thompson should give Neal one last shot at proving he belongs on the Packers roster.

ESPN's draft analyst gave the Packers a defensive player in the each of the first two rounds.

The Packers officially announced the signing of the seventh-year defensive lineman Friday.

Despite signing Anthony Hargrove and Daniel Muir along the defensive line, the Packers still have a long ways to go to fix holes on defense.

According to head coach Mike McCarthy, he'd like to see more of his 3-4 defense and few subpackages like the nickel defense in 2012.

The oft-injured defensive end will reportedly miss the first four games of the 2012 regular season.

The defensive lineman is playing close to 90 percent of the defensive snaps so far this year.

There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics. Well, maybe there's four: if you count the overhyped sack statistic and how people use it as a sole measuring stick for Clay Matthews III.

Mike McCarthy told reporters today that cornerback Tramon Williams has a chance to play on Sunday, while defensive end Mike Neal will miss "significant time."

Second year defensive lineman Mike Neal is being counted on to play significant snaps for Dom Capers defense this season.

The Packers were reportedly never in the bidding for the veteran defensive end.

Having Ryan Pickett, B.J. Raji, Justin Harrell and Cullen Jenkins all on the field at the same time provides an imposing defensive front.

The drafting of two rookies at the same position could spell trouble for Jarius Wynn.
