Nobody expected the Spencer Havner experiment to work out quite like this – not even Havner himself.
Three months after coaches let the backup linebacker begin taking snaps at tight end in training camp, Havner has become a bona fide pass catching threat.
Making the most of his increased playing time in the wake of an injury to tight end Jermichael Finley, Havner has caught three touchdowns in the Packers’ past two games, tying him with Donald Driver for the team lead.
“All he does is catch touchdowns,” quarterback Aaron Rodgers said.
Not bad for a guy whose standout career as a linebacker at UCLA previously led him to nothing more than life on the fringe of the NFL with three separate stints on the Packers’ practice squad.

The Green Bay Packers moved back toward their roots in the West Coast offense with good, but not great, results.
They surely accomplished their most important goal on Sunday at Lambeau Field, beating the under-talented and short-handed Detroit Lions 26-0 in a game that was about as easy as wins come in the NFL.
But the Packers also are searching for the rhythm to an offense that figured to be one of the NFL’s best but instead has been underwhelming early in the 2009 season.
To that end, they turned to more of a short, ball-control passing game that moved the ball with far more ease (435 yards) than in the previous four games.
But it was far from an unmitigated success because of familiar problems that have short-circuited them since the start of the regular season, namely penalties (seven on offense) and leaky pass protection that though improved from their last game at Minnesota, still allowed five sacks.

The Packers worked out former Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Levi Jones on Monday, a source confirmed.
The NFL Network first reported the news on its website.
Jones, 30, was let go by the Bengals in May shortly after the team drafted Andre Smith out of Alabama with the sixth overall pick.
The 6-foot-5, 307-pound Jones was the 10th overall pick in 2002 out of Arizona State. He started 89 games the previous seven seasons for the Bengals.
The Packers wanted to gauge where Jones is at in the event starting left tackle Chad Clifton, who sprained an ankle against the Bengals, is out for an extended period of time.

Walking toward his new locker in Lambeau Field, Matt Giordano had to quickly glance up at the nameplate to make sure he was in the right spot.
As of Wednesday morning, Giordano was in and Aaron Rouse was out — the latest surprise shake-up to the Green Bay Packers’ secondary. And by Sunday’s game in St. Louis, Giordano needs to be ready to play for his new team in an unfamiliar scheme.
“It’s definitely an opportunity,” said Giordano, who played with the Indianapolis Colts the previous four seasons. “But the thing that I’ve got to do right now is just retain as much information, know the defense as quickly as possible and just execute my assignment right now.”
