Kuhn joins starting lineup

It's more by default than anything, but John Kuhn will most likely be the Green Bay Packers' starting fullback the remainder of the regular season.

An injury to rookie Korey Hall bumped Kuhn up a notch on the depth chart.

"Fullback Korey Hall likely will miss the rest of the regular season after suffering a hip strain in Sunday's win at St. Louis, but he should be back in time for the divisional playoffs," reports Tom Pelissero of the Green Bay Press-Gazette.

It's a good thing there won't be much of a dropoff with Kuhn in the lineup. And that's no knock on Hall. He's played well regardless of the fact that he's a rookie.

Kuhn has been blowing people up lately. Just take a look at two of Ryan Grant's recent touchdown - one against St. Louis this past Sunday and Grant's long touchdown against Dallas a couple weeks ago (YouTube video above). Kuhn is a main reason Grant is finding the endzone.

And offense isn't the only place Kuhn is making an impact. Kuhn had key block on two long kick returns by Koren Robinson this past weekend that helped Green Bay win the field position battle.
