It looks like both Junius Coston and Chad Clifton are question marks to play in Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams.
Clifton isn't even scheduled to attempt to practice until Friday, but Coston supposedly had a setback in practice on Thursday.
According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, "Coston 'took a step backwards,' according to McCarthy and wasn't able to take part in the full practice because of his ailing ankle. With Coston and left tackle Chad Clifton out, Jason Spitz played right guard, Daryn Colledge played left guard and practice squad player Orrin Thompson played left tackle."
If both Clifton and Coston can't go this weekend, the Packers would be in a pinch. It would be a shame if they had to make a roster move just to bring in Thompson to play.
In a real bind, the Packers could go with an offensive line of Colledge at left tackle, Allen Barbre at left guard, Scott Wells at center, Jason Spitz at right guard and Mark Tauscher at right tackle. That would leave only Tony Moll as the only available backup along the entire line, though.
This could severly limit the Packers' options to either keep spots open for either 10 defensive backs or three halfbacks.
