Packers cornerback Al Harris said Wednesday he will be back on the field with Green Bay this year after major knee injury abruptly ended last season.
In his first comments in the Packers locker room since the injury, Harris said he never thought about calling it quits.
“There’s no doubt in my mind. If there were, then I wouldn’t be here, standing here now,” the 13-year veteran said after the second of four public organized team activities this offseason.
Harris tore a ligament in his left knee on Nov. 22 against the 49ers while defending San Francisco wide receiver Michael Crabtree. He needed season-ending surgery and there had been questions whether the veteran would return.
Harris said it was tough to watch Green Bay lose to the Arizona Cardinals in the first round of the playoffs in January.
“That was hard, the bits and pieces that I did watch,” he said. “It’s still hard to watch, even watching practice. But that’s a part of it, and that fuels you, to watch the guys go out there and work, to watch your friends play cohesive as a group.

Green Bay Packers tight end Spencer Havner was arrested this week on suspicion of drunken driving after crashing his motorcycle in Northern California, suffering a broken shoulder blade.
The California Highway Patrol says the 27-year-old Havner was arrested Monday after the accident about 2:45 a.m. some 50 miles north of Sacramento.
Mark Humenik, whose agency represents Havner, says the player should be “fully recovered in short order.” Messages left with the Packers and the NFL were not immediately returned Wednesday.
The district attorney’s office in Nevada County, Calif., say they are awaiting the police report before deciding whether to file any charges against Havner.

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.”
