Favre, Clifton, Tauscher and Robinson all fully participated in practice on Friday and they should play. Favre should certainly start to keep the streak alive, and because they'd have to fall back on recently resigned QB Craig Nall since Rodgers is probably out, but otherwise there is no need to rush any of these guys back. On the defensive line it would mean more playing time for DT Justin Harrell and DE Mike Montgomery who could both use more playing time anyway. Obviously the pass defense isn't as good without KGB on the rush and Woodson in coverage, but this isn't a must win game, CBs Jarrett Bush and Tramon Williams could use the opportunity to redeem themselves after struggling at Dallas, and Oakland's pass offense with QB Josh McCown at the helm is one of the worst in the league. I'm sure all of these guys want to get back on the field as soon as possible, so we'll see what happens on Sunday.
