Aaron Rodgers, who will make his first start at quarterback for the Green Bay Packers in a preseason game Monday night, was booed in practice on Sunday after a series of misfires, Scout.com reported.

“I mean, they’re booing all of us. So, yeah, I take it personally,” Rodgers said. “But like I said, it’s not the first time and it won’t be the last time.”

Rodgers completed seven of 20 passes for 84 yards and an interception against the Packers' starting defense. The offense, ranked No. 1 in the NFC last season, scored one touchdown in three possessions, plus a two-minute drill.

“I thought Aaron was solid,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy told Scout.com. “There’s some things that the production wasn’t there, whether it was on the front end or the back end of the pass play."

Rodgers will start tonight against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Rodgers also has fired his agent, Mike Sullivan, but would not say why.

"It's kind of a personal matter, and I'm going to keep that personal,'' Rodgers said.

Meanwhile, running back Ryan Grant is hampered by a nagging hamstring injury that's costing him valuable practice time.

In the midst of the Brett Favre saga, the Packers' biggest on-the-field problem was probably Grant, the featured back who missed a week of training camp before agreeing to a four-year contract potentially worth $30 million.

Now the prized-but-pricey player has been on the sidelines for two straight days with a hamstring injury that coach Mike McCarthy characterized as slight. Grant's availability for Monday night's exhibition opener against the Cincinnati Bengals remains in doubt.

"If he can go, I would like to see him go,'' McCarthy said.

Grant stayed in Green Bay throughout the team's offseason workout program, meetings and practices even though he didn't participate in them. He hasn't said much about his latest setback.

He appeared Saturday for a moment in the locker room with the media and said he'd come right back. He never returned, opting to go in for treatment on his ailing muscle instead.

Grant, acquired for a sixth-round pick before last season from the New York Giants, climbed the depth chart to the starter's role in the second half of the season and made the most of it by running for 956 yards and eight touchdowns.

He added 201 yards and three more scores in a playoff victory against Seattle in the snow, but Grant could be slipping from his role just as quickly.

"He needs to practice, obviously with the time he has missed with his contract and now with his injury,'' McCarthy said. "He definitely needs reps.''

Vernand Morency, Brandon Jackson, DeShawn Wynn, Noah Herron and undrafted rookie Kregg Lumpkin have been getting more practice time with Grant's departure.

Grant's absence highlights another problem that developed during Favre's jet-setting departure to New York - the Packers are being hit hard by minor injuries. A total of 16 players missed at least one practice the last two days and defensive tackle Daniel Muir got kicked in the shin toward the end of Saturday's session.

"Every decision will really be based on the health, because I would like to see them all play,'' McCarthy said. "It's important for us to get some momentum, to get out there and play some live football. You don't want to be going through the preseason and feel like you have work that needs to be done in Games 3 and 4.''

Injuries have made for some interesting combinations along the offensive and defensive lines with starters on both sides missing. Center Scott Wells has missed a week with a strained muscle, with Jason Spitz taking his place. But McCarthy is more concerned with the defensive line that is missing starting defensive tackles Ryan Pickett (hamstring) and Justin Harrell (back), along with defensive ends Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (knee) and Jeremy Thompson (stinger) and defensive tackle Johnny Jolly (hip flexor).

"We're definitely going to have a problem there,'' McCarthy said of the defensive injuries. "I don't consider any of them major. We're just running into our fatigue injuries which most teams run into at this point.''

Other starters that missed practice with injuries were cornerback Al Harris (back) and wide receiver Greg Jennings (knee).

"It's feeling like a back, it's cool,'' Harris said. "If they need me, I'm here.''
