Considering Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher were the primary tackles in practice Wednesday, it would almost seem a given that both would be in the starting lineup when the Green Bay Packers play at Tampa Bay Sunday. Clifton returned from a two-game absence due to a sprained right ankle and played a considerable amount of the snaps with the No. 1 offense ahead of rookie T.J. Lang. Tauscher, meanwhile, took the majority of snaps at right tackle ahead of starter Allen Barbre and appeared to be close to his old self. "Offensive line, (I'm) just going to take the week and work through it," head coach Mike McCarthy said. "Mark Tauscher had a lot of work today with the (No.) 1s, so (we're) looking at Mark at the right tackle position. He took the majority of the reps, and Chad Clifton looked healthy today. So really (we'll) see how Chad responds tomorrow from today's practice. Hopefully, they'll both go through the padded practice tomorrow, and we'll see where they are."
