Cheese Curds 8/20: Nick Perry returns, but Packers' RBs remain banged up

The Green Bay Packers are back on the field for a public practice on Monday, and a familiar and welcome face will greet fans in uniform for the first time this summer.

Outside linebacker Nick Perry returned from the PUP list for a closed practice on Sunday, after gradually increasing his individual workload over the past few weeks. His timetable for returning to the field in game action is still unknown for now but all signs point to him being available for the regular season opener.

The Packers' running back room can't seem to catch a break, however. Not only is Aaron Jones suspended for the first two regular season games, but he has not yet played in the preseason due to a hamstring injury. Now Jamaal Williams' ankle is unhappy - as is Williams himself - thanks to what's being called a dirty tackle in last week's exhibition game. Plus Akeed Judd just retired, leading the Packers go sign a pair of backs over the weekend.

Hopefully there will be good news on Williams and Jones at practice today. Keep it here for updates on their status and practice as a whole.
