Havner

Havner will play tight end for the rest of the minicamps, and then switch between the two positions at training camp. Assuming Havner makes the Packers, though, he’s only going to be a factor in kickoff coverage.

The converted linebacker came into the game with four career catches, but twice got open in the red zone during the third quarter. Jeff Dugan of the Vikings also hauled in a score, so the game may have been the best of all time for third-string tight ends. Somewhere, Todd Yoder is smiling.

Now, it’s up to the district attorney’s office to pursue the charges. The highway patrol has not announced Havner’s blood-alcohol content at the time of his motorcycle accident. The legal limit in California is 0.08.

Havner’s blood alcohol level was found to be over the legal limit of 0.08 when police tested him at the hospital Saturday morning. Though he arrested at the hospital, Havner was never taken to jail because of injuries sustained in his motorcycle accident.

Disputing a previous item, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that no DUI charges have been filed. The Grass Valley Union earlier claimed that California Highway Patrol determined Haver was intoxicated. Havner allegedly lost control of his 2007 Kawasaki at the end of a cul-de-sac at 2:45AM. He was not wearing a helmet. The shoulder injury Havner suffered appears to be severe enough to cost him most of pre-training camp activities.

“He has not been charged criminally with driving under the influence of alcohol or any other substance,” said agent Mark Humenik. Humenik also called Havner’s injuries “minor,” but confirmed that his client does have a fractured scapula. It’s the same injury that cost Nate Clements the final nine weeks of last season. Havner isn’t likely to be 100 percent before June.

Havner has a fractured scapula among other injuries, but this timeline would give the No. 3 tight end plenty of time to get ready for training camp. He had just seven catches lat season, but four of them went for touchdowns.

Havner, who fractured his scapula in a motorcycle crash last month, has begun participation in the Packers’ offseason conditioning program. His OK to return to workouts is a sign that he’ll be fine by training camp.

Havner, a converted UCLA linebacker, scored four fluky touchdowns on seven catches last season. He will hang around at Green Bay’s No. 3 tight end.

The D.A.'s office is sending the case back to California Highway Patrol for further investigation. Havner isn’t off the hook quite yet, though the case against him is obviously weak.
