Finley, Jennings, Raji all game-time decisions for Sunday night

GREEN BAY - The Green Bay Packers have a history of lifting themselves off the mat to play well against a quality opponent.
That’s the challenge facing the 2-3 Pack on Sunday night, when they play at undefeated Houston. The Texans have outscored their opponents 68-to-24 in their first two home games this season – while Green Bay has been out-scored 34-18 in the second half of their two road losses. But nose tackle B.J. Raji says he’s not really worried that the Packers will fall flat against the Texans, because they tend to do well in these so-called “recovery games.” Raji says he’s more worried about the contests the Packers should win. They were a seven-point favorite at Indianapolis last Sunday before they collapsed in the second half in their loss to the Colts.
Green Bay is a four-point underdog at Houston. A victory would put the Pack at 3-3 – the same record they had in the Super Bowl-winning season two years ago. A loss could put them three games back in the NFC North. Raji might not play after he hurt an ankle at Indy. He’ll be a game-time decision, along with tight end Jermichael Finley and receiver Greg Jennings. All three sat out practice yesterday, as did tight end D.J. Williams. He tweaked a hamstring during a drill on Wednesday, and will be re-evaluated today to see if he can play against the Texans.
