Packers DL coach Mike Trgovac expects the team to retain LE Ryan Pickett for the 2013 season.
Pickett, 33, brings essentially nothing to the table as a pass rusher, but he is a run-stuffing power pig at left end and nose tackle. "I think Ryan has some more football left in him. I really do," Trgovac said. "I think he definitely has another good year left in him." Pickett is owed $6.1 million in 2013. Jan 18 - 12:37 PM

Packers RE Ryan Pickett was pulled from Sunday's Week 14 game late in the third quarter with a head injury.

Ryan Pickett - DL - Packers

Packers DE Ryan Pickett (foot sprain) says he expects to play in Sunday's game against the Bears.

Pickett left last week's win over the Panthers in the second half and did not return. "My foot just started hurting," he said. "I didn't know what it was. I don't think it's anything serious." Pickett's presence will plug up the middle for Matt Forte.

Ryan Pickett - DL - Packers

Packers LE Ryan Pickett (ankle) returned to full participation in practice Thursday.

Ryan Pickett - DL - Packers

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel indicates that Packers LE Ryan Pickett (ankle) is unlikely to be ready to play immediately after the team's Week 10 bye.

Pickett aggravated his high ankle sprain in the second quarter in Week 9, and although initial X-rays have come back negative, it seems like something that could keep him out multiple weeks. We'll know more when the Packers practice next week.

Ryan Pickett - DL - Packers

Packers LE Ryan Pickett left in the second quarter Sunday after aggravating his right ankle injury.

Pickett limped off the field and then went to the locker room. The initial X-rays came back negative, but additional X-rays are being performed. He's considered doubtful to return. Jarius Wynn is inactive tonight, so the Packers would have some depth issues if Pickett has to sit out the remainder of the game.

Ryan Pickett - DL - Packers

Packers coach Mike McCarthy said that LE Ryan Pickett (ankle) and RE Cullen Jenkins (calf) "are in the same boat" when it comes to their potential availability for Week 8.

Pickett sat out Wednesday's practice, while Jenkins participated on a limited basis. The Packers finished Week 7 with only three healthy defensive linemen, as Jenkins hurt himself in warmups and Pickett left the game early. They've brought in Howard Green for depth.
