GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP)Green Bay Permier Jared Allen Jersey Packers right tackle Bryan Bulaga(notes) sprainedand bruised his knee in Sunday's victory at Chicago, and it's not clear if hewill be able to play against Denver.Given the Packers' recent history with season-ending injuries, it could havebeen much worse."Talking to Dr. (Pat) McKenzie after the game, he felt that we dodged abullet, Authentic Percy Harvin Jersey to use his words, based on his examination," McCarthy said.Bulaga went down with an apparent injury to his left knee in the firstquarter Sunday at Soldier Field. It looked bad when Bulaga first went to theturf, but the injury isn't as bad as the Packers first feared.

"A normal conversation for me on Mondays, talking with the players andtalking with the Authentic Jared Allen Jersey medical staff, is, the players feel they're going to play andbe fine, and the medical staff is more concerned," McCarthy said. "So there'llbe more information that's gathered here, and hopefully I'll have a betterhandle on it Wednesday."He won't be the only player the Packers are watching.McCarthy said running back Ryan Grant(notes) bruised a kidney and took a shot inthe mouth but finished the game, turning in an impressive 17-carry, 92-yardperformance. Backup outside linebacker Brad Jones strained his hamstring.McCarthy didn't provide a timeline on any of the injured players' potentialreturn to practice or availability for Sunday's game against Denver at LambeauField.Marshall Newhouse(notes), a second-year player out of TCU, played well in relief ofBulaga."I thought Marshall played a good game," McCarthy said. "Coming off thebench on the road he did a lot of good things. There are some things that he'llimprove on, some technique plays that he can do a better job on. Playing againstan active defensive Jared Allen Jersey Black line, not having those practice reps during the course ofthe week are vital when you play Chicago's defense, particularly all the linemovement we saw in yesterday's game. So I was pleased with Marshall'sperformance."Newhouse said if he did have any jitters coming in cold off the bench, theydidn't last very long."More like after the first play, realizing that it's still football andthat I can play, I'm here for a reason," Newhouse said. "My teammates pickedme up, and the goal is to go out there and win. I didn't want to play OK. Iwanted to play to help us win."Offensive coordinator Joe Philbin said Newhouse did a good job in passprotection but had a "couple things here and there" that he can improve on inthe running game. Philbin said Newhouse's overall performance was particularlyimpressive given his relative lack of practice time at right tackle."I couldn't guess at how many reps he gets, but it's not a ton so he has tobe ready," Philbin said. "We like to tell those guys that there's certaintruth, football's football. But obviously when he's working scout team he's notgetting the `over' defense and all the twists and line moves that the Bearsused. It's an adjustment, it's a challenge for a guy when he steps in."Newhouse said he's "absolutely" confident there won't be a drop-off in theoffense's productivity if he's called on to start Sunday."From the start of the Jared Allen Jersey White season, I've always been ready for anything tohappen, preparing during the week for anything to happen," Newhouse said."This is something that happened, unfortunately, and we're hoping for Bryan'srecovery. But for now, just take it as it comes."Newhouse isn't as heralded as the Packers' 2011 first-round pick, DerekSherrod(notes)but at this point in their careers, Newhouse is the better player.McCarthy said he isn't disappointed that the Packers haven't gotten more outof Sherrod, who has been inactive for the first three games."I think it's convenient criticism, Percy Harvin Authentic Jersey questioning when you go after yourfirst-round pick," McCarthy said. "I'm very pleased with Derek, where he is inhis progress. Derek and Marshall are both young talented players that need toplay. Marshall's a Authentic Jared Allen Jersey White little bit ahead of Derek in the experience category, andthat's why Marshall Vikings Percy Harvin Jersey has this opportunity. And it's really in his best intereststo keep it. I'm very pleased with the way Marshall played, I'm very pleased withhis development in year one, year two, not having the offseason program. Soyou've got two young tackles we're excited about."Connect with AP Sports Writer Chris Jenkins: /ByChrisJenkins
