Here are Press-Gazette Packers reporter Pete Dougherty's three keys to Monday night's game between the Green Bay Packers and the Baltimore Ravens at Lambeau Field.

Of the 51 players to be drafted by Thompson, safety Nick Collins is the only one to make the Pro Bowl.

The Green Bay Packers drafted Jarius Wynn with the thought he someday would become an accomplished 3-4 defensive end.

The Green Bay Packers are doubling B.J. Raji's snap schedule this week and limiting him to only defensive end to get him ready for the regular-season opener just around the corner.

Justin Harrell's recurring bad back dealt a demoralizing blow to his career prospects and took a big bite out of the depth on the Green Bay Packers' defensive line.

B.J. Raji hit the Ray Nitschke practice field Monday padded up and ready for a restrained - but hardly slow - return to real football.

Raji was in good enough shape to pass his conditioning tests Friday, though he doesn't know how quickly the Green Bay Packers will rotate him back into full-contact work after his two-week absence from training camp.

Jarius Wynn gazed at the nameplates above the lockers around him on Tuesday morning as he pondered the question: Is it ever daunting to be a rookie sixth-round draft pick, knowing you have to beat out guys like this to be a Green Bay Packer in Week 1? "Yes, kind of," Wynn finally said with a laugh.

Perhaps the coaches have put Green Bay Packers offensive lineman T.J. Lang behind left guard Daryn Colledge because that's where they put you if you're going to get shuffled around like the cards at a single-deck blackjack table.

GREEN BAY, Wis. - In 1994, the last time that the Green Bay Packers made a structural change on defense, they signed free agents Sean Jones and Steve McMichael specifically to fit the needs of their new coordinator, Fritz Shurmur.

As we get ready to usher in a new season filled with hopes and promises, one thing on the minds of Packers' fans, is whether or not the new 3-4 defense will pay dividends or whether it will be a bust.

The Green Bay Packers probably will find out in a few days whether end Johnny Jolly will be part of their defensive line rotation early this season.
