Couch Not a Love Seat: Poor Tim Couch just can't catch a break. First, the Cleveland Browns wouldn't let him work out with the team this past spring, causing him to file a grievance with the union. He managed to force his way to Green Bay, but things did not get much better. Couch experienced arm trouble throughout training camp, causing him to miss a number of practices and see only limited action in preseason games. As a result, the Packers released the former number 1 draft pick. Now, Couch has filed another grievance, this time claiming that the Packers released him despite his being injured, which is not permitted under the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The Packers claim that Couch never told them he was injured, only that he had arm soreness. A grievance hearing will be scheduled in the next few weeks.
