The Facts:
Hackett aggravated a sprained right ankle he's had for most of the season by practicing Wednesday. "His ankle is a little bit sore. We rested it today," HC Mike Holmgren said. "That will be a game-time decision. Instead of making it a little worse (Thursday), I think I'd rather have him there on Saturday."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Four days earlier, he had six catches for 101 yards and a touchdown in the victory over Washington in the wild-card game. Hackett's problem comes one day after fellow starter Deion Branch returned for the first time since Dec. 26. Branch practiced again Thursday and had precautionary ice on his strained right calf as he walked off the field after the workout. When asked to confirm Branch's proclamation he would play against the Packers, Holmgren said, "Looks like it, yeah."
