Congrats to Jermichael, Courtney and family.
AP Packers tight end Jermichael Finley was expected to make his preseason debut on Thursday night against the Bengals, but it won’t happen. Packers fans shouldn’t worry about a recurrence of his concussion symptoms from earlier in camp or a setback in his return from a quadriceps injury. There’s a much happier reason for Finley’s absence from the lineup.
It’s the second child for Finley and his wife and the tight end explained in a subsequent tweet that he’s heading back to Green Bay to take care of the newest addition to the family. We send our congratulations to Finley, his wife and the whole family.
We’ll now look for word on whether or not Finley will see any action in the final preseason game. Traditionally, that’s the playing field of practice squadders and the soon-to-be unemployed, but Finley hasn’t been on the field at all this summer. Given Finley’s familiarity with the offense and his role in it, we’d bet against seeing him in game action until the first week of the regular season.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- LeRoy Butler wants to be a coach in the NFL. He doesn't care which team it's for. He doesn't care what the pay is. He doesn't care what his job title is. He just wants a chance to prove himself.
Butler, a Super Bowl champion and four-time Pro Bowl safety with the Green Bay Packers, recently hired an agent to help him find his first coaching opportunity in the NFL.
"There were two dreams I had when I retired," said Butler, 43, who played his final snaps in 2001. "The first dream was to have a son because I had four daughters. I have a 10-month-old son now. My other dream was to be a coach in the NFL. Then, after that, I can die.
"They don't even have to pay me, that's how bad I would love it. I don't have a word for how excited I would be if for some reason I was to get a coaching opportunity somewhere in the NFL. I know for a fact I can help a team."
Originally, Butler only wanted to coach with the Packers. It was the only NFL team he ever played for, and he felt loyal to the franchise that gave him a 12-year playing career. But head coach Mike McCarthy and general manager Ted Thompson, who were hired in Green Bay several years after Butler's career ended, simply had no interest in him as a coach.
"I've written letters, I've talked with people, I've told them," Butler said. "My dream was to be a part of the Packer organization. I don't care if it's as a janitor. I just wanted an opportunity to just share my views and my opinions on how to fix the defense or what I think.
"But when you don't have any experience, then that's a good way to ignore you. But how are you going to ever get experience if somebody doesn't give you an opportunity when you played 12 years? I can see if I didn't know the game, but I think I know the game as good as anybody else. I value that it takes 15- to 16-hour days, but I just think I can help a young man get to that next level."
Butler's coaching career nearly began seven years ago. When Mike Sherman was coaching the Packers, he invited Butler to essentially be an intern on his staff. Sherman was both the head coach and general manager for Green Bay from 2000-04, and it was in ‘04 that Butler shadowed the coaching staff. When Thompson was hired as general manager in 2005, he let Sherman coach one more season but with far less control over the franchise.
"I was up there, (and) I used to dress like the coaches, give my opinion and I was involved with the organization," Butler said. "(Sherman) said if I really wanted to do it, he'd give a shot to be the assistant defensive backs coach (in 2005). He was going to do that, but he got fired, then I never got that chance."
Once McCarthy was hired following the Packers 4-12 season in 2005, he brought in his own staff of coaches.
"I didn't even get an opportunity to get an interview," Butler said. "You don't even understand how depressing that was."
That was the first time Butler had been passed over as a potential coaching candidate, but it wasn't his last.
"I really thought that when Coach (Mike) Holmgren took over in Cleveland (as team president in 2010), he'd bring me out there, but that didn't happen," said Butler, who played seven seasons under Holmgren in Green Bay. "I was pretty disappointed about that."
Butler may have one more shot at coaching, though, and it could happen soon. Sherman is currently a leading candidate to fill the vacant head coaching spot of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and has already interviewed twice with the team.
"I'm just hoping that Mike Sherman may get that job because he was the only coach that valued who I was as LeRoy Butler," he said. "I'm praying that he does get it. He's in the running. That'd be awesome. I think about it every day."
If that situation doesn't work out for Butler, he's just hoping some NFL coach will take a chance on a guy who intercepted 38 career passes, collected 20 sacks and was known as a locker-room leader.
"It doesn't matter where it is, I'll go anywhere," Butler said.

On the recent Packers Tailgate Tour, teamwork and bullying were the topics on which the players spoke, and Henderson is just the right guy to have delivered the message on bullying.
“I wasn’t a bully, I was bullied,” the former Packers fullback said. “I was a nerd, for the most part. I was a chubby kid. I was picked on because I was fat and I was picked on because I had trouble playing in the heat. I was picked on because I liked the arts. I wasn’t part of the drug trade and where I came from the drug trade was king.”
Henderson, a third-round draft choice from North Carolina in 1995, played 12 seasons for the Packers.
“Most of the kids remembered. I was shocked. It’s been five years. The future of the Packer nation is strong,” he said.
Henderson delivered an energetic address that urged students to be responsible members of their community.
“It comes from my background. We are part of the community. High school is a reflection of the community. They are the future of the community and they can help the community thrive if they accept their responsibility,” he said of his message.
“Bring economic and social success to the community. Help their weakest link become strong and then that community can thrive, flourish.”
How did Henderson avoid being bullied?
“I found my strength. I found inner strength. I surrounded myself with people who were positive. I put myself in the company of people who were trying to be over-achievers. I’m very proud of the group I hung with,” he told the students.
“Did they understand it and did it make sense? It did. They nodded their heads.”
Henderson is an active member of Packers alumni and is bringing the “Sweet Frog Frozen Yogurt” franchise to Wisconsin, with plans to open eight franchises in the next 4-6 months. The first to open is set for Whitefish Bay in Milwaukee, followed by a store in Stevens Point. Article from www.Packers.com
