  "account": "Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur announced that rookie cornerback Brandon Cisse won't miss any time due to his knee injury sustained during a recent exhibition game against the Denver Broncos. Cisse practiced in pads on Aug. 24, indicating that the injury was not serious. Cisse will benefit from participating in a joint practice with the Arizona Cardinals on Aug. 26.\n\nDefensive end Warren Brinson, who injured his calf before the Broncos game, will miss some time. Brinson is still expected to be a starter in Week 1, and rookie Chris McClellan's performance has the coaches eager to see him play more.\n\nGuard Aaron Banks, who had been limited to individual drills due to tendinitis in his knee, practiced with full pads for the first time. LaFleur believes Banks is making progress and will likely be ready for Week 1.\n\nRookie wide receiver J. Michael Sturdivant is dealing with a concussion and is working through the league's concussion protocol before being cleared to return to the field. Running back Josh Jacobs, who has been sidelined with a groin injury, will begin working in some 11-on-11 drills but will be limited in team periods. Long snapper Matt Orzech, sidelined with a calf injury, is expected to return to the joint practice, though it's too early to say for certain.",
