GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP)\u2014Although the NFL lockout has cut off most contact between teams and players, Green Bay general manager Ted Thompson said the Packers are able to track the progress of injured players during the offseason.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters in his annual pre-draft news conference Thursday, Thompson said team physician Pat McKenzie is staying in touch with Packers players who are rehabilitating their injuries. And Thompson didn\u2019t express any concerns about players falling behind as they get ready for a return to the field.<\/p>\n

A league spokesman says team doctors can check on the progress of injured players\u2019 rehabilitation as long as such contact happens away from team facilities. Green Bay shook off a rash of injuries during its Super Bowl run, ending the season with 16 players, including six starters, on injured reserve.<\/p>\n

And while teams generally can\u2019t talk to players during the ongoing work stoppage, a handful of Packers players also are scheduled to participate in the Packers\u2019 \u201ctailgate tour\u201d next month, which is allowed because the events will benefit local charities.<\/p>\n

Thompson acknowledged that the team is making contingency plans just in case the labor situation affects the timing of training camp or the regular season.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the fans, they should know, we\u2019re planning for several different contingencies,\u201d Thompson said. \u201cWhat we do know is, there\u2019s a draft coming up next week, and that\u2019s been my focus and the focus of our personnel department.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the uncertainty of the labor situation, Thompson said, team officials are preparing for the season as usual.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s important to know is, the Packers are getting ready for football,\u201d Thompson said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got a season schedule sent out. Mike (McCarthy) has training camp schedules all done. There is no contact with players, but our players are very professional and I\u2019m sure they\u2019re getting ready. We\u2019re hopeful that a deal gets done, just like everybody else.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
