Opportunity knocking for Nall?

Craig Nall rejoining the Green Bay Packers this week is excellent timing for the all-time Demons football great.

Everybody who follows football knows Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre, one of the most durable players in NFL history, is fighting injuries sustained in last Thursday night's game at Dallas. Favre is expected to start and play Sunday when the Packers play Sunday against Oakland.

But backup Aaron Rogers, who replaced Favre in the Dallas game, has injured a hamstring and the Packers believe he could be sidelined for a couple of weeks.

That jumps Nall from free agent signee to No. 2 QB for Green Bay, one play away from getting his first regular-season NFL action in three years, since he was Favre's backup with the Pack in 2004.

It's a different offensive system now, and Nall is cramming to get enough of an understanding to execute things correctly if called upon.
