Packers Unsure if Guion Will Play Thursday

The Packers are unsure if recently-signed DT Letroy Guion will play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Chiefs, ESPN.com Rob Demovsky reports. 

According to Demovsky, the Pack will have Guion, an ex-Viking, take more reps during Wednesday's practice, although even success then likely won't guarantee anything.

"We'll take another step further at Wednesday's practice in getting some more reps and keep progressing," McCarthy said earlier today. "It'd be foolish to throw him out there and give him a full load." 

Prior to this year's training camp, as you may or may not remember, Guion suffered a severe hamstring injury, something that's unfortunetaly kept him out until now.

I don't think it matters if he plays, the Packers have been scouting Guion for years when he was a member of the Vikings, and I'm sure they know what he can provide. He seems more likely to earn a roster spot now that Raji is out for the year but with Mike Pennel emerging as a legitimate option, I could easily see Ted Thompson opting for the younger player.
