Kampman says cautious approach is best

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - Aaron Kampman says the Green Bay Packers' training staff won't need to keep an extra eye on him when he returns to the field for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers.

If he learned anything after playing through a concussion, it's that a cautious approach is the best approach to head injuries.

Kampman is back at practice this week after sustaining a concussion in the Packers' Nov. 8 loss at Tampa Bay. He took a blow to the head on the fourth play of the game. But he played into the fourth quarter before realizing he'd sustained a significant injury and telling his coaches, who took him out.

The Packers held Kampman out of practice last week and in Sunday's victory over Dallas. It's the first time he has missed a game for health reasons since 2003.
