A roundup of what's happening on the Green Bay Packers beat.
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Rob Davis says it wasn't on him. Those who were closest to Edgar Bennett on the Packers' sideline say it wasn't on him either.
Days after the Packers' bench was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct during Sunday's game against the New York Jets, coach Mike McCarthy remains unclear who the call was on.
It was clear that most on the home sideline were upset that line judge Byron Boston didn't call a late hit on the Jets after defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson appeared to tackle receiver Jordy Nelson out of bounds on a second-quarter play.
Davis, the team's director of player engagement who was one of the people closest to where Nelson went out of bounds, said Thursday that he didn't use any inappropriate language that would have drawn the penalty, and Bennett, the team's receivers coach who also was nearby, might be the last person on the Packers' staff who would do so.
"We've addressed it," McCarthy said. "We don't know who was actually penalized based on the communication with the official during, after the event and even right before halftime, and who he determined it was on and looking at the video and things like that. It's obvious something happened, but we talked about it again. We have a segment on our Thursday team meetings about continuing education and boundary management, and sideline awareness was one of those topics."
Bennett said he would let McCarthy's comments on the matter speak for himself.
"Mike has already addressed it as far as it never happening again," Bennett said. "I'm not going to get into this happened or that happened or [it was] this person or that person."

Though Nelson has received all the attention for leading the NFL in receiving yards through two weeks, no one in the league has more touchdown catches than Randall Cobb dating to Week 17 of last season.
Cornerback Casey Hayward and safety Micah Hyde were upgraded on the team's injury report.
Guard Josh Sitton, who last season called the Lions "dirtbags" and "scumbags" said he would "plead the fifth" when asked if the Lions have changed this year.
