GREEN BAY, Wis. -- As if figuring out how to slow down Vikings running back Adrian Peterson wasnt tough enough, the Green Bay Packers must prepare for two unique variables when they visit Minnesota this weekend.The Vikings are opening a sparkling new stadium when they host the Packers. Theyre also trying to keep mum about who will be playing quarterback on Sunday night.It could be Shaun Hill. It could be Sam Bradford.Weve taken the approach that we could see either one of the quarterbacks. My understanding is that its probably going to be Sam Bradford, but I have a lot of respect for Shaun Hill, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Wednesday.Vikings coach Mike Zimmer had other ideas.Youll have to wait until Sunday, he told reporters in Minneapolis.Let the mind games begin between these longtime NFC North rivals . Even Peterson got in on the fun.Ive been practicing throwing the ball deep and everything. Once Im back there, Im just going to let loose, the 2012 NFL MVP cracked in a conference call.Starter Teddy Bridgewaters season-ending knee injury prompted Minnesota to bring in Bradford in a deal with Philadelphia the week before the Vikings season-opening 25-16 win at Tennessee. But Hill got the start, going 18 of 33 for 236 yards, with no turnovers.You just prepare for both. You really dont know what youre going to get, Packers safety Morgan Burnett said.Theyre also not quite sure what to expect at the new U.S. Bank Stadium, which the Vikings will debut to great fanfare in a Sunday night game to be played on national television.They do expect it to be loud, though.I guess the Viking on the motorcycle is not going to be there, so it will be a little quieter in pregame, said Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers, referring to the former Minnesota mascot. But we expect it to get rocking when we get out there on offense.Minnesota fans will be celebrating their teams NFC North title one last time after the Vikings snapped Green Bays four-year reign atop the division last season.Last week, the Packers had communication breakdowns in the season-opening, 27-23 victory over Jacksonville. Cleaning up those mistakes will be especially important Sunday night amid the din of a noisy stadium.Green Bay will pump up the noise in practice, like the Packers typically do ahead of games at loud venues. But the Packers dont plan to see the stadium any earlier than they usually would ahead of a night game.McCarthy said the team will go through its usual pregame walkthrough on Sunday afternoon. Getting used to the translucent, space-age roof that would allow daylight to stream on to the field shouldnt be an issue with the evening start, McCarthy suspected.Rodgers, in his 12 years in the league, has played in just about every conceivable situation. Top priorities in preparing to play in a new stadium include knowing where the play clocks are located, and preparing for the noise.And then just withstand the surge, Rodgers said. So its a big game, a division game, so weve got to withstand the initial surge.INJURY REPORTVeteran Sam Shields remains in the concussion protocol after getting hurt late in Sundays win. The Packers top cornerback missed four games last season because of a concussion. ... S Chris Banjo and LB Jayrone Elliott, two top special teams players, did not participate in practice. Banjo and Elliott, who have hamstring injuries, were inactive last week.TRANSACTIONThe Packers released third-string RB Jhurell Pressley, who was claimed off waivers on Sept. 5 after being released by the Vikings. Pressley was inactive in Week 1.QUOTABLEPeople say, `Hey you reached the top. But theres everyone coming in after you trying to take that spot.
