GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- If Green Bay Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk's groin injury isn't vastly improved by Sunday, he could sit out the game against the Seahawks in Seattle.

Linebackers coach Winston Moss said he'll strongly recommend to coach Mike McCarthy that Hawk sit out if the injury isn't improved from what it was going into last Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Hawk, who suffered the injury Sept. 28 at Tampa Bay, clearly wasn't himself against the Falcons, Moss said. On Atlanta's first touchdown, Hawk correctly diagnosed the play but couldn't cover tight end Justin Peele because of the injury.

"I can only give my recommendation, (but) if he's trying to play through an injury and it looks like he's not going to play up to his standard or he's not going to help us win, we cannot put him in that situation," Moss said.

"It's more of a coaching responsibility not to put him in that situation where he's got to play through things."

Health watch: Cornerback Charles Woodson was at practice for the first time since suffering a broken toe on his right foot in the regular-season opener against Minnesota. Woodson has played in every game since the injury, despite not attending or participating in a single practice. Woodson didn't do much Thursday, but he did take part in the early-practice jog-through session.

"Practice is important. He's progressed with his medical situation," McCarthy said. "He's not in the boot anymore, so it's good to have him down there at the jog-throughs. It just wasn't in his best interest in prior weeks for him to be standing that long with the boot on his foot."

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers took part in the "majority of the practice," McCarthy said, with one very important caveat: He didn't throw the ball at all, resting his injured right shoulder for one more day.

"We really didn't do any throwing. He was involved in everything else but that," McCarthy said. Rodgers will be re-examined by team doctor Pat McKenzie before resuming throwing.

Fullback Korey Hall (knee), who hasn't played since Sept. 14 at Detroit, "looks good" in practice, McCarthy said, and he anticipates Hall to be active for the Seahawks game.

Wide receiver James Jones suffered a setback with his knee and sat out his second straight practice. Safety Atari Bigby (hamstring) was sore and figures to miss another game, while safety Aaron Rouse (knee) practiced fully.
