GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Looking good, Aaron Rodgers.Coach Mike McCarthy said his quarterback arrived at Green Bay Packers training camp in great shape, just in time for his 12th season in the NFL.I would say this is the best shape Ive seen him in, McCarthy said Monday as players reported for medical and conditioning tests.Receiver Jordy Nelson, though, wont take part in the first practice of camp on Tuesday.Nelson was one of six Packers placed on the physically unable to perform list on Monday. Nelson is coming back from a torn right ACL injury that kept him out for the 2015 season.Coaches have raved about Nelsons work ethic and rehab habits in the offseason. The Packers have also said that they might be cautious with Nelson as he comes back from injury. The Packers also have five preseason games this year since they play in the Hall of Fame game on Aug. 7.Nelsons return should help boost an offense that went through uncharacteristic struggles last season.Youre talking about two players that have, shoot, thousands of reps invested in their time together. Yeah, I have great confidence theyll get that back, McCarthy said.Rodgers last season had his lowest passer rating (92.7) and completion rate (60.7) since taking over as the starter in 2008. He had minor surgery after the playoffs for a knee injury that he hurt in high school.In the offseason, Rodgers adjusted his diet. The two-time MVP, who turns 33 in December, said in June that he was at his lowest weight since his second year in the league in 2007.To McCarthy, Rodgers seems refreshed and rejuvenated.I would say Aarons vibe, and really his offseason participation and performance looks to line up for a great year, McCarthy said.Its starting a little earlier than usual, too.Preseason is a little longer this year because the Packers will play in the Hall of Fame game against Indianapolis in Canton, Ohio, on Aug. 7. Players will have barely digested the playbook by the time the Packers kick off against the Colts. The Packers also have more night practices.Theres more time to get ready, and yet it seems that the Packers need to pick up the pace of preparations, too.So well start that tonight, foot on the gas and get that done, McCarthy said.In Rodgers, Nelson and about 13 more players, the Packers have a group of veterans with at least six years of experience that is expected to set the tone for a team with Super Bowl hopes. It could be one of the teams best leadership cores yet, McCarthy said.And its no surprise that Rodgers is the most important. He was as meticulous in his offseason preparation as ever.You want to fit it all together and get it repped as an offense, so that process was very smooth, McCarthy said. I would say hes ready to go.Game notes McCarthy didnt seem worried when asked about the NFLs plan to interview defensive stars Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers about a report that linked them to the use of performance-enhancing drugs. I have no reason to be concerned based on the conversations Ive been a part of, he said. ...

"I wrote 36 on my sheet at the beginning of the game," the Cincinnati coach said, referring the yard line the ball would need to be snapped from. MIAMI -- The Miami Marlins need Jose Fernandez to be the home dominator he has been for virtually his entire career.If he isnt that on Wednesday, its likely the red-hot Kansas City Royals will walk away with their 10th straight win.In fact, even if Fernandez -- who is 26-2 with a 1.62 ERA in his career at Marlins Park -- is as dominant as he usually is here, its still not a guarantee the Marlins will beat the Royals.Thats how hot the Royals are, as they proved on Tuesday, requiring just one run to knock off the Marlins.The Royals also have to take solace in the fact that the Fernandez that arrives to the ballpark on Wednesday is not the one Marlins fans are accustomed to seeing.Fernandez has struggled as of late, mostly on the road. Since July 28, Fernandez has a 6.00 ERA -- home and road -- and he has lost his past three decisions.The Marlins have other concerns besides Fernandez.Three of their best hitters -- right fielder Giancarlo Stanton, first baseman Justin Bour and infielder Derek Dietrich -- are on the disabled list.Stanton and Bour have combined for 40 homers this year, even though the latter hasnt played since July 3 due to an ankle injury that has never healed properly.It is questionable that either one will return this year, although the Marlins are hopeful.Dietrich is also vital to Miamis plans. If the Marlins make the playoffs, starting second baseman Dee Gordon, who sat out 80 games this year due to an MLB suspension for performance-enhancing drugs, will be ineligible for postseason play.ddddddddddddThat means Dietrich would be the obvious choice for second base, assuming he is healthy and the Marlins make the playoffs.On top of those issues, the Marlins got more bad news on Tuesday night.Center fielder Marcell Ozuna, a first-time All-Star this year who is hitting .277 with 21 doubles, five triples, 22 homers and 64 RBI, left the game in the seventh inning due to a family emergency.He just had a little family emergency, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. Its a personal thing. If he wants to talk about it tomorrow, I will let him. Its something that was going on. Well know more tomorrow.Meanwhile, the Royals are rolling along.They will start right-hander Dillon Gee (5-6, 4.52 ERA) on Wednesday against Miami. He is coming off his best start of the year, allowing just one run in seven innings.Kansas Citys bullpen, a key part of their 2015 run to a World Series title, is also in great shape.Kelvin Herrera has saved eight straight games, lowering his ERA to 1.91 with his latest stop on Tuesday.Herrera, filling in for injured closer Wade Davis, has retired 17 consecutive batters.Kansas City also got scoreless innings on Tuesday from set-up relievers Matt Strahm and Joakim Soria.We have to make sure we mix and match, Royals manager Ned Yost said of his bullpen. But we have nice options. ' ' '
