Nov 11 Kampman (concussion) won't practice until Friday at the earliest, the Green Bay Press-Gazette's Tom Pelissero reports.
Recommendation: Kampman's availability for Sunday's tilt with the Cowboys remains very questionable. If he's one of your IDPs, begin searching for a replacement now. Brad Jones got most of the work at Kampman's left outside linebacker spot in Wednesday's practice.

Nov 10 LB Aaron Kampman hasn't missed a game for an injury reason in more than six years. A concussion the linebacker sustained in the 38-28 loss at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday could jeopardize the personal streak of 102 games -- not including the 2007 regular-season finale, when Kampman was among several veterans rested for the ensuing playoffs. "I've been better," a visibly groggy Kampman said Monday. Kampman said he took a shot to the left side of his head early in Sunday's game but managed to keep playing until he was pulled for good in the fourth quarter. The concussion -- Kampman's first since he suffered one late in his rookie season in 2002 -- was diagnosed after the team returned to Green Bay. Head coach Mike McCarthy said Kampman's availability for practice this week and playing Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys at Lambeau Field is "up in the air." Kampman took a concussion test Monday and would be assessed again before he's cleared to return to the field. "Just a little sore," Kampman said. "I've got to get some rest." The head injury adds to what has already been a challenging year for Kampman. The two-time Pro Bowl selection was moved in the offseason from defensive end to outside linebacker in the team's new 3-4 scheme. Kampman's pass-rushing prowess has suffered with the change, which has occasionally put him in an uncomfortable position of having to drop back into coverage. After racking up 37 sacks the previous three seasons, Kampman has only 2 ½ at the halfway point this season. The 3-4 system implemented by first-year defensive coordinator Dom Capers is supposed to be pressure-oriented, but the Packers have produced all of 13 sacks in eight games, tying them with the Houston Texans for 29th in the league. Only the Kansas City Chiefs (10) and the Jacksonville Jaguars (eight) are worse.
per STATS:
Nov 9 Kampman played most of Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay with a concussion before leaving the game in the fourth quarter. His availability for the Packers' upcoming game against Dallas is unclear.
Advice: Kampman said Monday he took a hit to the left side of his head on the fourth play of game and still wasn't feeling quite right Monday. An eight-year veteran, Kampman says this isn't the first concussion of his career but he hasn't had one recently.
