GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers might have erred last week when they decided to play linebacker Brad Jones, who was nursing a hamstring injury.

It sounds like that decision will be much easier to make this week. Jones did not practice again on Thursday, making it unlikely he will play Sunday against the New York Jets. Jones had one of his worst games in last week's loss to Seattle, tying for the team lead with three missed tackles.

It opens the door for Jamari Lattimore to move into Jones' spot in the starting lineup but also likely means more snaps for fellow starter A.J. Hawk.

Jones played all 70 snaps against the Seahawks and served as the signal caller on defense. Hawk did not play in the dime package but likely will take over that role this week rather than putting too much on Lattimore, although it's possible the Packers could use Sam Barrington as the dime linebacker.

"The game this week's going to be a game where they switch personnel groups almost every down and they use every one in the books, I think experience is the one of the key factors there," defensive coordinator Dom Capers said. "You want your signal caller to be a confident guy, so experience factors into that as opposed to putting a guy out there that really hasn't done a lot of it against a team that's going to give you multiple personnel groups and a fast-paced tempo."

That would seem to indicate Hawk will take on that role.

Jones was the only player who did not practice on Thursday.

Right tackle Bryan Bulaga practiced in pads on Thursday on a limited basis, but the Packers weren't ready to pronounce him ready to start against the Jets after he left the opener with a sprained MCL in his left knee. Bulaga appeared to move better than he did on Wednesday, when his gait seemed off.

"The biggest thing is just the movement," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said after Thursday's practice. "I'm not really looking for him to take the whole team drills or anything like that, because he's not ready for that. How he feels tomorrow and if he can go on Saturday will be the final test."
