John Kuhn lost five yards on his lone carry in Green Bay's Week 14 win over the Lions.
He was targeted only once in the passing game, and went without a catch. There was a chance Kuhn's role would grow with James Starks likely out for the season, but he was a distant third on the depth chart behind Alex Green and recent signee DuJuan Harris this evening. Kuhn remains off the radar in fantasy leagues. Mon, Dec 10, 2012 12:59:00 AM

John Kuhn - RB - Packers

John Kuhn rushed four times for 17 yards in Green Bay's Week 12 loss to the Giants, adding three catches for 49 yards.

Kuhn's receiving yards gave him the most yards from scrimmage of any Packers runner, but there wasn't a noticeable effort to get him more involved in the offense even though his seven touches were a season high. Alex Green and James Starks have been woefully inadequate as the Packers' backfield duo, but Kuhn isn't the answer to their run-game issues. He remains off the radar in fantasy leagues.

John Kuhn - RB - Packers

John Kuhn (hamstring) is officially probable for Week 11 against the Lions.

As is Alex Green (knee). Kuhn was limited all week in practice, but is expected to resume third-down duties against the Lions. He won't be a viable flex option.

John Kuhn - RB - Packers

John Kuhn (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

It's never good news when players are limited coming off a bye week, but it's possible the Packers are just being cautious with a player they want to re-install as their third-down back. However, even if Kuhn makes it back for Week 11, he'll be a poor flex option in all formats.

John Kuhn - RB - Packers

Running backs coach Alex Van Pelt said John Kuhn (hamstring) will step back in as the third-down back once healthy.

Kuhn is the team's best pass protector and can handle himself as a short-yardage option. His return will be bad news for Alex Green, who has lost early-down work to James Starks and will have his passing-down snaps siphoned by Kuhn. Cedric Benson is due back Week 14.

John Kuhn - RB - Packers

John Kuhn (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 9.

It could mean some goal-line carries for James Starks behind an ineffective Alex Green, but Green is still the favorite for short-yardage work. Kuhn is week-to-week.

John Kuhn (hamstring) was held out of practice again on Thursday.

Don't expect the fullback to play this week. James Starks could get a handful of touches behind lead back Alex Green, who should retain short-yardage duties for another week.

John Kuhn - RB - Packers

John Kuhn (hamstring) remained out of Packers practice Wednesday.

With Alex Green continuing to fare poorly as the Packers' feature back, Kuhn could be in for an uptick in carries, but it's looking doubtful it will be in Week 9 after he sat out last Sunday. He's week-to-week.

Packers FB/RB John Kuhn (hamstring) will not play in Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Kuhn won't be available to vulture any goal-line carries this week. Alex Green has struggled badly, but he's set up for a ton of touches against the Jags' No. 29 run defense.

John Kuhn - RB - Packers

John Kuhn was held out of Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury.

It's a new injury for Kuhn, who hasn't missed a game this season. He was held out of practice again on Thursday. Although a bigger role for the Packers' sometimes goal-line back hasn't materialized in the absence of Cedric Benson, that could change if Alex Green continues to struggle.

John Kuhn - RB - Packers

John Kuhn rushed twice for six yards in Green Bay's Week 6 win over the Texans.

There was a possibility Kuhn would become a slightly bigger part of the Packers' game-plan following Cedric Benson's foot injury, but it doesn't appear to be in the cards. He has eight rushes for 23 yards and one touchdown through six games.

John Kuhn - RB - Packers

Packers FB John Kuhn handled all the third-down duties in Thursday's preseason game against the Bengals.

Cedric Benson isn't a passing-down back and Alex Green is still being eased in off his torn ACL. That left Kuhn, an excellent pass-protector, with the gig. He finished with three carries for 19 yards and no catches. Green eventually projects to share third-down duties with Kuhn.

John Kuhn - RB - Packers

Packers activated FB John Kuhn (knee) off the active/PUP list.

Kuhn has finally been cleared after injuring his knee during January's playoff loss to the Giants. He'll be ready to fill his normal role as a goal-line option and occasional lead blocker. Kuhn has scored six touchdowns in each of the last two seasons.

John Kuhn - RB - Packers

Packers FB John Kuhn is still awaiting clearance from team doctors after injuring his knee in the playoff loss to the Giants.

It was originally reported as a nebulous "MCL injury" back in January. Kuhn still won't discuss specifics, though it was obviously more serious than a sprain. The touchdown vulture expects to be eased into camp if doctors allow him to participate from the start. "I feel healthy enough," said Kuhn. "But sometimes you feel healthy enough and coaches and doctors want to be cautious. We'll see."

John Kuhn - RB - Packers

Packers FB John Kuhn has been diagnosed with an "MCL injury," and will not require surgery.

It's the best possible news for the would-be Pro Bowler, and means he should be back to 100 percent well before training camp. Kuhn signed a three-year, $7.5 million contract in July before leading the Packers in rushing TDs this season.
