Mike McCarthy tries to keep Packers on regular schedule for Arizona

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- No offense to Scottsdale Community College, but practicing there the day before the Green Bay Packers' Week 16 game at the Arizona Cardinals didn't exactly help.

Coach Mike McCarthy will hold all of his practices in Green Bay this time in advance of Saturday's NFC divisional playoff game at Arizona.

McCarthy said he considered flying to Phoenix early, but the logistics of it did not work out as he had hoped.

His first priority was to give his players two days off from practice following last Sunday's wild-card win over the Washington Redskins.
