Cheese Curds, 8/22: Packers' Murphy aims for roster spot, Sitton prepares for uncertain future

The Green Bay Packers return to the practice field today for their second-to-last week of training camp, meaning that the players on the 90-man roster have just eight more days and one more game to make it clear to the front office that they deserve a spot on the 75-man roster as of next Tuesday. One player who has made a good impression in a very limited amount of time on the field is sixth-round rookie Kyle Murphy, the Stanford grad who has moved from left tackle to the right side.

Murphy's first game action came last Thursday against Oakland, and he held up well. Meanwhile, one of his veteran teammates is in a group of players whose futures in Green Bay are quite uncertain. That player is Josh Sitton, who had a very eventful offseason that culminated in his marriage and the loss of about 20 pounds. He's putting it back on through training camp, but he says that he feels great and in better condition than the past few years.

Check out these pieces on the Packers' offensive linemen in Cheese Curds below. And speaking of Cheese Curds, make sure to help out Packers rookie Trevor Davis with your best recommendations on where to get the nuggets of bliss.

The word "artist" is what Matt Hasselbeck used to describe the new Packers tight end. From improvising on a crucial late-season play (which got him yelled at by the coaches the next day) to being frustrated by his team in St. Louis. Now with Aaron Rodgers, Cook has his chance to become a star at 29 years old.
