The Facts:
First Grant held out. Now he's held up, this time by a nagging hamstring injury that's costing him valuable practice time. Now the prized-but-pricey player has been on the sidelines for two straight days with a hamstring injury that HC Mike McCarthy characterized as slight. Still, Grant's availability for Monday night's exhibition opener against the Cincinnati Bengals remains in doubt. "If he can go, I would like to see him go," McCarthy said.

In the midst of the Brett Favre saga, the Packers' biggest on-the-field problem was probably Grant, the featured back who missed a week of training camp before agreeing to a four-year contract potentially worth $30 million. He hasn't said much about his latest setback. According to AP sports writer Colin Fly, Grant appeared Saturday for a moment in the locker room with the media and said he'd come right back. He never returned, opting to go in for treatment on his ailing muscle instead. "He needs to practice, obviously with the time he has missed with his contract and now with his injury," McCarthy said. "He definitely needs reps." In the meantime, those reps continue to go to Brandon Jackson, Vernand Morency, DeShawn Wynn, Noah Herron and undrafted rookie Kregg Lumpkin.
