GREEN BAY, Wis. - Josh Sitton talked in the Green Bay Packers locker room Friday as though he knew whether hell be playing against the Chicago Bears.Pretty much, but I really do have to see how it feels tomorrow, the Packers veteran guard said about his toe injury.The decision will come Saturday on the availability of Sitton and fellow guard T.J. Lang (ankle) for the game Sunday night. Lang and Sitton are questionable for the prime-time matchup against the rival Bears at Lambeau Field.The Packers didnt practice Friday, and coach Mike McCarthy said theyll evaluated by the medical staff on Saturday.Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has spent the better part of two weeks recovering from a hamstring injury, is probable after a bye week. Rodgers injured his left hamstring in the lopsided loss against New Orleans. Hes been a full participant in practice this week.He feels good, McCarthy said. He had a couple throws to his left yesterday, so that was really kind of the last thing I think he wanted to feel and see. So hes ready to go.Lang and Sitton spent this week in rehab mode with injuries they sustained in Green Bays 44-23 loss at New Orleans on Oct. 26. Lang went out after the first series with an ankle sprain, and Sitton kept playing after suffering an injury to a big toe in the second half.The Packers (5-3) put Lang and Sitton, who didnt practice the previous two days, through a workout on the field at their indoor facility Friday morning.They both completed it, McCarthy said. The workload that they were asked to do, they exceeded it. So that part went well, but really their evaluation tomorrow is the next step we have to get through.The team estimated Lang and Sitton would have been limited practice participants Friday.Lang didnt appear in the locker room during the access period for media Friday afternoon. A day earlier, he said not to bet against him and Sitton playing Sunday.If I have the confidence and the coaches have the confidence in me going out there and getting the job done, then Id say theres a pretty good chance, said Lang, who noted he had some ligament and muscle damage in his left ankle.Sitton spoke Friday about the likelihood hell take his spot at left guard Sunday. Counting the playoffs, the durable Pro Bowl lineman has started 47 straight games dating to December 2011.Asked what his workout Friday, Sitton said, Just moving around, doing certain movements that Ill be doing on Sunday. I think the biggest thing is just loading on it, trying to put some weight on it. So we did that a little bit.When asked whether that means hes playing, Sitton played coy.I dont know, he said. Ive got to see how it feels tomorrow. Its still a little swollen up.After meeting with team doctor Pat McKenzie on Friday, Sitton isnt too worried about putting himself at risk for aggravating what was diagnosed as a torn ligament in the toe by playing right away.I think that risk is going to be there the rest of the season no matter what, Sitton said. Its not something thats going to be a huge threat.Green Bay has been getting the young trio of Lane Taylor, JC Tretter and Garth Gerhart ready in case Lang or Sitton cant play Sunday.Taylor replaced Lang in the last game. Tretter, who was activated from the injured reserve/designated for return list this week, and Gerhart have yet to play a regular-season game.Really tomorrow (in practice), Im not really looking for T.J. and Josh to take reps because I want to make sure those (other) three guys are ready to go, McCarthy said.NOTES: Also probable for Green Bay are three starters on defence who missed the last game: CB Sam Shields (knee), S Morgan Burnett (calf) and DL Datone Jones (ankle). . WR Kevin Dorsey, who suffered a foot injury in practice Thursday, is sidelined indefinitely. Its a significant injury, McCarthy said. Hell be out multiple weeks. David Njoku Jersey . -- Keith Aulie has joined the Tampa Bay Lightning. Larry Ogunjobi Jersey . The San Angelo, Texas product, who was a high school and college quarterback sensation in the Lone Star State, will start his first CFL game with the Saskatchewan Roughriders (9-4) on Friday at Mosaic Stadium against the leagues top team, the Calgary Stampeders (11-2). http://www.authenticbrownsnflfansmall.c ... ersey.aspx. Dougie Hamilton and Jordan Caron scored in the first period after the Red Wings had miscues on the ice and Tuukka Rask finished with a 23-save shutout, giving Boston a 3-0 win over the Red Wings and a 2-1 series lead in their first-round series. Zane Gonzalez Browns Jersey . Josh Bailey had a goal and an assist as the New York Islanders earned a 2-1 win over Ottawa Wednesday, leaving the Senators five points out of a playoff spot with just five games to play and four teams ahead of them. Myles Garrett Browns Jersey . Peko, a fourth-round pick in 2006, started all 16 games and a playoff loss to San Diego last season. He was second on the line with 72 tackles and had a career-high three sacks. BOSTON -- Melky Cabreras second homer sailed over the left field wall and smashed a car window across the street. Just a little extra damage in a game when the Toronto Blue Jays hammered the Boston Red Sox. Cabrera homered from both sides of the plate and drove in five runs, R.A. Dickey pitched three-hit ball for seven innings and the Blue Jays won 14-1 on Monday night. "He didnt know" his three-run homer in a nine-run sixth inning had cracked the windshield, Cabrera said through a translator. "He saw that after the game." Dickeys knuckleball was so good, he could have done without some of those runs. "I kind of wish they could divide them up over, like, three starts," he said. "(I) almost kind of wish wed have only scored two runs because I felt like I had that kind of knuckleball tonight and saved this outing for when I gave up five, but Ill take it." The Blue Jays won for the sixth time in seven games while the Red Sox lost one day after stopping a five-game slide that began in Toronto with three losses. Cabrera homered into Bostons bullpen in right field after Jose Reyes led off the game with a walk. Cabrera made it 9-0 in the sixth with his 14th of the season. Ryan Goins had four hits and four RBIs for Toronto. Dickey (9-10) had a season-high 10 strikeouts, allowed a run and walked one as he won for the third time in 10 starts. But against the Red Sox hes 3-0 with 21 strikeouts and two walks this season. Clay Buchholz (5-7) left the game after allowing the first three batters to reach in the sixth with one run scoring on a double by Goins. "They hit the pitches I was missing with," Buchholz said. Felix Doubront came in and faced 10 batters, allowing six runs, six hits and two walks. He got his only outs on a sacrifice fly and a forceout. Everyone in the Blue Jays lineup except Reyes scored in the sixth, and Munenori Kawasaki scored twice. Torontos 14 runs matched its sseason-high against Cincinnati on June 20.dddddddddddd Goins had given the Blue Jays a 4-0 lead with a two-run double in the fourth. Dickey retired the first six batters and struck out at least one in each of his seven innings. He allowed a double in the third to Stephen Drew, an infield single in the fifth to Shane Victorino and an RBI single in the sixth by David Ortiz that made it 13-1. TRAINERS ROOM Blue Jays: With first baseman Edwin Encarnacion having a setback in rehabbing his strained right quadriceps, the Blue Jays obtained third baseman Danny Valencia from the Kansas City Royals for right-hander Liam Hendriks and catcher Erik Kratz. Torontos regular third baseman, Juan Francisco, has been filling in at first. Red Sox: Catcher David Ross hobbled home on a painful right heel on Ortizs single in the sixth. Ross believes the pain is caused by plantar fasciitis. ON DECK Blue Jays: Marcus Stroman (6-2) pitches for the Blue Jays on Tuesday night and will have a tough time matching his performance against Boston last Thursday in Toronto. He allowed his only hit when Victorino led off the seventh with a single in Torontos 8-0 win. Stroman left after that inning. Red Sox: Rubby De La Rosa (3-3) makes his second consecutive start against Stroman. ALL-STAR SURGE Cabrera had his sixth multihit game and Toronto improved to 8-3 since the All-Star break. "The All-Star break did him some good," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "From the looks of it right now, I think the All-Star break did us all some good." NO RELIEF Doubront has complained about being moved to the bullpen after going 2-4 with a 5.19 ERA in 10 starts. In seven relief appearances, hes allowed 11 earned runs in nine innings. "If the role is not sitting well and affecting his pitching, there needs to be a different focus in realizing his potential and focus," manager John Farrell said.
