GREEN BAY - The Green Bay Packers filed their shortest injury report of the season on Wednesday, an indication that the team is in good health going into Saturday's playoff game against Seattle.

Cornerback Charles Woodson was the only player who sat out practice entirely on Wednesday. Along with the toe injury Woodson has been nursing in recent weeks, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Woodson had some swelling after banging his knee on the turf in practice on Tuesday.

"He'll be fine," McCarthy said. "We know Charles will be ready to go."

Packers receivers Greg Jennings and James Jones left practice with minor injuries -- a groin for Jennings, a hamstring for Jones -- but McCarthy said neither was a concern.

"They both wanted to finish practice," McCarthy said. "(We're) just being cautious. This is the healthiest we've been all year medically and I just want to make sure we're ready to go. They experienced some tightness three-quarters of the way through practice, so I sent them up for treatment."

Guard Jason Spitz (quadriceps), cornerback Will Blackmon (foot) and wide receiver Koren Robinson (knee) all were limited in Wednesday's practice.

The six players on the Packers' injury report was a season low. The Packers listed seven players in Week 1 and a season-high 18 players in Week 11, according to the team's public relations staff.

Even cornerback Al Harris, who often sat out midweek practices during the regular season because of a bad back, practiced on Wednesday.

"I think he's a prime example of the health of our football team," McCarthy said. "Even Charles Woodson practicing Friday and Saturday, they feel a lot better. The break's really helped them and they're just getting ready to go. The bye week really helped us."

Spitz practiced for the second day in a row. McCarthy said he took the maximum number of practice repetitions and looks "ready to go."

Spitz doesn't see any reason why he can't be 100 percent on Sunday.

"Why not? I did a good job of taking care of myself last week," Spitz said. "I stayed up here and got treatment, so I'm good to go."

Blackmon did a handful of drills in the portion of practice that was open to the media, but McCarthy said how Blackmon feels Thursday morning will go a long way toward determining whether he will play Saturday.

And if he does, he's more likely to return punts than play the nickel or dime cornerback spot.

"The return game is the biggest factor that I think he can contribute in the football game," McCarthy said. "Also (nickel and dime defense) is something you have to be concerned about because he hasn't taken the reps with yesterday's and today's practice, so that's a decision that we're going to have to make probably tomorrow."

R U 4 REAL? Brett Favre and Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, a former Favre backup in Green Bay, apparently have been having a grand old time text-messaging each other all week.

Hasselbeck said he tried to make a deal with Favre.

"I told him that I would give him all of our defensive signals if he would get me all of the Packers' defensive signals," Hasselbeck deadpanned. "That way we can both have great games. Everybody wins."

Favre apparently didn't take him up on it, instead cryptically telling Hasselbeck to be on the lookout for the Packers' gameday program on Saturday.

"He said there might be a picture in there," Hasselbeck said. "That's all he said."

Much has been made this week about the fact that there's a street named for Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren near Lambeau Field -- but Hasselbeck played in Green Bay, so he knows that Holmgren Way isn't some sort of majestic boulevard.

"I think there's a Hooters there, isn't there?," Hasselbeck said. "I'm trying to get T-shirts that say, 'Hooters on Holmgren.' I think that'd be awesome."

BUCKEYES' BUST: Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk managed to stay tuned to the bitter end of his alma mater's loss in the BCS title game Monday night, hoping for a comeback that never came.

Ohio State lost to LSU 38-24 -- the second straight year they've been blown out in the national title game.

"That was a tough game," said Hawk, the Packers' first-round draft pick in 2006. "It's tough to get to the national championship two years in a row and lose it both times. This year, they jumped on them early and just couldn't hold on. But I guess at least they got there."

As far as Hawk is concerned, LSU is the best team in the country.

"I know there's a lot of talk saying different teams, Georgia, USC, whatever," Hawk said. "But LSU showed in that game that I think they're the best team in the country right now."

NOTES: Packers safety Atari Bigby hadn't heard anything about the bubbling controversy in Dallas, where Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo apparently spent part of the bye week in Mexico with entertainer Jessica Simpson. A few of Romo's teammates went, too. "Wow! You know what, all work and no play, I guess you've got to have some play in there somewhere," Bigby said. "So I'm happy for those guys." ... Backup running back Brandon Jackson returned to practice Wednesday after missing Tuesday's practice with a case of the flu. ... Packers defensive coordinator Bob Sanders said he spoke briefly with former Packers coordinator Jim Bates on Tuesday after Bates was fired by the Denver Broncos. Bates was a finalist for the Packers' head coaching job that went to McCarthy two years ago. "I had a chance to visit with him briefly last night just for a second," Sanders said. "He seemed to be doing OK."
