Sean Locklear returned to practice on Monday after missing last week because of tendinitis in his knee. He did not play Saturday in Green Bay, leaving Ray Willis working at right tackle and Tom Ashworth at left tackle.

Willis was still working at right tackle during practice on Monday, which is significant because he had been competing with Chris Gray for time at right guard through the first couple weeks of training camp. Tackle is Willis' more natural position, though, and while coach Mike Holmgren said Willis will continue to see time at both tackle and guard, it appears his competition for playing time at guard is done.

Ashworth started at left tackle on Saturday in Green Bay, and he again looked overmatched lining up on that edge. Holmgren said Ashworth looked much better at right tackle than at left in his time with the team. Ashworth practiced with the second-unit line at right tackle on Monday.

Third-string quarterback David Greene's issue has been accuracy as he showed in the exhibition game in Green Bay when he completed six passes to Seahawks and three to Packers.

"His accuracy is a big thing," Holmgren said. "He runs the team decently. He's a hard worker. He moves well enough. It's just the balls fly on him on occasion."

Holmgren was asked later if Greene needed to show more urgency.

"Well, I would think so, yeah," Holmgren said. "Well, David has been here three years. He knows the program."

Safety Michael Boulware did not practice on Monday, sitting out because of a sprained ankle. Holmgren said Boulware should be available to play on Saturday against Minnesota. Linebacker Julian Peterson did not participate in all of practice after getting a little banged up in the exhibition game.
