Packers' Julius Peppers sees sacks spike, gets practice rest (The Associated Press)

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Julius Peppers doesn't like to take breaks.

He has missed just two practices in his three seasons with the Packers. One was late last year, and the other came Wednesday. Both were just days off for rest.

Coach Mike McCarthy plans to give Peppers a midweek practice break the rest of the season, his 15th in the league. Peppers is still productive, with a sack in three straight games going into the Packers' critical contest Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.

''He has a very old-school approach,'' McCarthy said Thursday.
