Green Bay — The following is a summary of coach Mike McCarthy's post-practice press conference following Monday's OTA:

(On Jared Cook’s foot) Jared Cook, we have no long-term concern with his situation. It will be good to have him back.

(On his timetable) I don’t really have a timetable for that. I’m not going to get into injuries. This isn’t the time for that.

(On Jeff Janis taking the next step) Jeff Janis is doing a lot of good things. He just needs to continue to progress through the fundamentals of the position. Special teams he had an excellent year last year, graded out as one of our top players. I’d like to see him take that same step as a wide receiver.

(On Richard Rodgers handling Jared Cook arrival) I really don’t think players view it that way. … Veteran players understand that you need as many good players as you can. I would definitely think Richard welcomes that. Any time you have a veteran that has experience somewhere else, it’s an opportunity for Richard and the rest of those tight ends to grow.

(On Janis’ skill set) Jeff is a big target that can go deep. I think the play he made today was really good concentration on his part, competing through the interaction with the DB and tip of the ball and keep playing. He’s a very strong wide receiver. I think that surprises people. He uses his strength and his speed.

(On the demeanor of this team) When we completed last week I would say the defense was a big step ahead of the offense. This week I think the offense did some really nice things. … These are big-time challenges mentally for our guys, and you can see it starting to come together.

(On Blake Martinez benefitting from Sam Barrington’s absence) I think he looks very comfortable. I think he’s done a real nice job transitioning from the base defense to the sub defense. Very bright, quick. He definitely is a very instinctive player.

(On the draft picks still in school) There’s nightly meetings with the coaches. We’re looking forward to getting those guys here at the end of the week.
