Player Notes
December 17, 2006
While spelling Ahman Green on Sunday, Vernand Morency had a pretty nice day. Morency carried seven times for 54 yards and two touchdowns.
November 17, 2006
Vernand Morency practiced all week and is expected to play Sunday against the Patriots, according to the Packers official site. Morency has been out of action since Oct. 29 because of a lower back injury.
November 17, 2006
Vernand Morency should dress for Sunday's game with New England despite his sore back. He still remains questionable on the injury report though he's practiced the last two days.
November 16, 2006
Vernand Morency was able to practice on Wednesday, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. He's been out since injuring his back last month, but Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Morency could return kicks this weekend.
October 31, 2006
Coach Mike McCarthy said that Vernand Morency will miss "a couple of weeks" with a lower back injury that he suffered in Sunday's win over Arizona, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. McCarthy went on to say that Morency is still having tests on his back read, but that he didn't think the injury was season-ending.
October 30, 2006
Vernand Morency left his breakout game on Sunday with a back injury, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Head coach Mike McCarthy said that the injury, which occurred in the fourth quarter, was a "concern."
October 29, 2006
Vernand Morency saw a lot of action spelling Ahman Green in Week 8 and took full advantage of his opportunity. Morency carried 11 times for 101 yards. Green also had a fine game, rushing for 106 yards and two touchdowns.
October 22, 2006
Vernand Morency was the No. 2 running back for the Packers on Sunday, despite the fact that many thought he had been passed on the depth chart by Noah Herron. Neither backup did much, as Morency ran for just 12 yards on seven carries and Herron five yards on two carries.
October 20, 2006
Vernand Morency will have an expanded role on special teams now that Koren Robinson is suspended for a year, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. It's not clear how that would affect Morency's offensive role, especially if Ahman Green can't get healthy over the final two months of the year.
October 8, 2006
It appears that Vernand Morency fumbled away a chance for a big game on Sunday. Morency lost a fumble early in the game, and the ball came loose again on a later carry and was not ruled a fumble. That was apparently enough for Packers coaches. Morency had only one carry the rest of the game, while Noah Herron rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries.
October 2, 2006
Vernand Morency filled in admirably for Ahman Green Monday, rushing for 99 yards on 26 carries. Morency also caught six passes for 19 yards.
September 22, 2006
Vernand Morency wasn't on the field for any scrimmage plays last week, but he's expected to be a part of the offense Sunday at Detroit. Morency and Noah Herron might be forced into action if Ahman Green's hamstring is an issue on the weekend.
September 13, 2006
The Packers acquired Vernand Morency from the Texans Wednesday for Samkon Gado, according to ESPN.com. Morency was sharing carries with Wali Lundy in Houston, but he'll get less work in Green Bay behind Ahman Green. The trade will become official once each player passes his physical, which could happen as soon as Thursday.
September 7, 2006
Coach Gary Kubiak stated on Wednesday that Vernand Morency would split carries with Wali Lundy on Sunday, according to the Houston Chronicle. Kubiak did note that Lundy would probably play a bit more, but it will likely depend on who's being the most productive.
August 22, 2006
Vernand Morency is nursing a sore leg after Saturday's preaseason game in which he rushed for 95 yards and two TDs, according to the Houston Chronicle. "He's got a bad bruise on his lower leg," coach Gary Kubiak said. "As part of being the back, you have to get back on the field. You're going to be sore. We're hoping he'll be back at practice Wednesday."
August 20, 2006
Vernand Morency was impressive in Saturday night's preseason game with the Rams. Morency rushed for 95 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries. With Domanick Davis out, Wali Lundy got the start and played well. Davis looks like he may be an injury risk this season, but it's not completely clear if Morency, Lundy or Antowain Smith will end up No. 2 on the depth chart.
January 1, 2006
Vernand Morency started at tailback for the Texans on Sunday with Domanick Davis and Jonathan Wells both out. Morency rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries.
