Packers' Hawk to test calf injury vs. Raiders

Published: Dec 11, 2011 at 01:18 AM

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers expect A.J. Hawk to return Sunday against the Oakland Raiders in some form or fashion as he nurses a calf injury, a league source said early Sunday.

The Packers later confirmed that Hawk is active. He was previously listed as questionable.

With Charles Woodson starting, and James Starks and Desmond Bishop out, Hawk's status was the one injury question for Green Bay. Hawk and Bishop both went down in the Thanksgiving tilt against the Detroit Lions and missed last week's win over the New York Giants.
