GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Packers offense has changed a little from the last time center Corey Linsley snapped a football to Aaron Rodgers.More passing. Less running.It is in large part by necessity as the Packers adjust their plans following the spate of injuries that have sapped depth at the running back position.It looks different and we operate a little bit different. But its the same stuff that weve been going through, Linsley said Wednesday. Although ... for us, as O-linemen, its adjusting to passing as much.Linsley, the starting center the previous two years, hasnt played this season because of a hamstring injury. But he could be activated from the reserve/physically unable to perform list for Sundays game against the Indianapolis Colts because of a knee injury to Linsleys replacement, JC Tretter.Yeah, if that happens, obviously were going to have to get resituated there. Im not worried about Corey, though. Corey has been a center his entire life, Rodgers said.Still, it will be yet another personnel change to which the Packers will have to adjust because of their lengthy injury report.At running back, Eddie Lacy (ankle) is on injured reserve. James Starks is coming back from a knee injury, but did not practice on Wednesday.Receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Ty Montgomery (illness) were both limited after missing last weeks loss to Atlanta . Cobb and Montgomery can also take snaps in the backfield, a role that Montgomery especially had excelled in this season .Green Bay also has running back Don Jackson, elevated from the practice squad a few weeks ago; and fullback Aaron Ripkowski, who had an impressive 34 yards on six carries against the Falcons.At Atlanta, Rodgers was the leading rusher with 60 yards on six carries.Im deceptively fast. Thats what I like about it, Rodgers joked.But hes usually not making keeper calls. If Rodgers is on the move, it is usually because hes trying to extend plays.Its been a good weapon for us on third down (at) times. But again, its a secondary thing. Extending plays ... where Im hitting guys on late-timing stuff and second-reaction stuff. Those are tough for the defense to stop, Rodgers said.Against Atlanta, the Packers used spread looks at times by necessity. Rodgers was 28 of 38 for 246 yards and four touchdowns in one of his best outings of the year .In the 26-10 win over Chicago the previous week, Rodgers was 39 of 56, setting a franchise mark for completions in a game. He threw for 326 yards and three scores.The offensive line, for the most part, has played well. But it looks the Packers may have to prepare for a change there, too, because of an injury.Linsley has come full-circle after taking over as the center as a rookie in 2014 after Tretter went down with a knee injury. When Linsley got hurt this preseason, Tretter was ready to step in.Now, it looks like Linsley will be snapping the ball again. The Packers have an open spot on their active roster following the release of running back Knile Davis earlier this week.On Wednesday, Rodgers ran Linsley through the cadences and adjustments that have been made on offense.Everything that he can possibly throw at me, he threw at me, Linsley said. Im thankful for that.INJURY REPORTThe cornerback carousel continued on defense. Quinten Rollins returned to practice for the first time since missing three games with a groin injury. He was limited. But Demetri Goodson missed practice with a concussion. Starting cornerback Damarious Randall remains out with a groin injury. ... LB Clay Matthews (hamstring) was limited after missing the Falcons game.TRANSACTIONRB Brandon Burks was signed to the practice squad.

Then there was another loud cheer in the nearly empty United Center as fans in the private boxes and bars celebrated the final out of the Cubs 9-3 victory in Cleveland.The Blackhawks know a little something about success, winning the Stanley Cup three times since 2010, and they seem to be enjoying the Cubs run. Moments after the Blackhawks victory, coach Joel Quenneville was already looking forward to Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday night.Its going to be a fun day for Chicago tomorrow, he said. Biggest game maybe in the whole history of Chicago sports.Kane scored his third of the season on a dazzling play in the first, and then set up Artem Anisimovs tiebreaking power-play goal at 7:44 of the third. Anisimov extended his career-best point streak to eight games with his team-best seventh goal of the season.With Sam Bennett in the penalty box for tripping, Kane made a perfect pass to Anisimov in front for the redirect. Motte added his third of the season on an impressive rush, making it 3-1 at 12:44, and Kane assisted on Artemi Panarins sliding empty-netter with 3:01 left.For us, its probably as ugly a 5-1 win is gonna get for our team, Kane said. Still can be better.Crawford finished with 33 saves after posting his first shutout of the season in a 3-0 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday.Im feeling better and better every game, feeling quicker out there, Crawford said.Michael Frolik scored a short-handed goal for Calgary, which beat Chicago 3-2 on Kris Versteegs goal in the seventh round of a shootout on Oct. 24.

Its just that ssecond goal kind of, they get the momentum and we opened the game and they finished us.ddddddddddddThe crowd of 21,166 seemed to go back and forth from the action in Cleveland to the Blackhawks fourth win in five games. About 20 minutes before the puck dropped, there was a roar in the concourse when Kris Bryant homered to give the Cubs an early lead.There were more cheers and high-fives with about 4:15 left in the first, celebrating Addison Russells grand slam.Then Kane gave the crowd something to cheer about on the ice. The reigning NHL MVP skated around Calgary defenseman TJ Brodie, and then away from Deryk Engelland and Mikael Backlund before beating Elliott low on the glove side for a 1-0 lead at 18:58.It was a big turn of events after one, and we got better as the game progressed, Quenneville said.Chicago had a chance to add to its advantage when Calgary was whistled for too many men on the ice in the second, but Backlund made a great pass to Frolik for a tying tap-in goal at 7:06.It was still tied before the Blackhawks scored four times in the third, helped by another solid performance by Anisimov. The Russian center, off to a fast start, also got an assist on Niklas Hjalmarssons second of the season at 18:16.We were playing a great game. We really were, Calgary defenseman Mark Giordano said. We had control. We did a lot of good things, then it seemed like the last 10 minutes it all fell apart.Game notesBlackhawks D Gustav Forsling returned to the lineup after missing two games with an upper-body injury.
