Packers' receiver Chery gets chance to showcase value in return game
As the Green Bay Packers get set to make their first wave of roster cuts on Tuesday, receiver Jason Chery can rest easy knowing that his suprising showcase against the Indianapolis Colts will keep him on the team for at least one more week.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Jason Chery had to lobby his way into the Green Bay Packers' return game, begging coaches on the sideline to let him field a punt in last week's preseason game against Indianapolis.

They gave in at the last second, Chery ran on the field -- and immediately returned a punt 75 yards for a touchdown. Chery now will handle both punts and kickoffs in Thursday night's preseason finale at Kansas City, giving him a chance to earn a roster spot.

Chery, who played college football at Louisiana-Lafayette and spent time on the practice squad with Carolina and Pittsburgh last season, said he hopes his big play opened the coaches' eyes.
