The Packers got good news about Donald Driver's sprained right foot and delivered bad news to 11 players who were cut from the roster.

Driver, injured during the 21-13 exhibition loss to Jacksonville Thursday night at Lambeau Field, was examined by team medical staff today and is expected to be ready for the season opener Sept. 9 against Philadelphia.

"Fortunately, we think we dodged something here," general manager Ted Thompson said in a meeting with reporters.

The 11 players released on Friday included center C.J. Blomvall, wide receiver Carlton Brewster, fullback Erryn Cobb, punter Ryan Dougherty, defensive end DeVon Hicks, cornerback Antonio Malone, quarterback Ingle Martin, guard Pat Murray, running back P.J. Pope, linebacker Juwan Simpson and tight end Joe Werner.
