The Green Bay Packers may need their offense to start putting up points quickly this week, as the team suddenly has a ton of injuries to deal with on defense. Green Bay has essentially five defensive starters hurt in some fashion this week, and a few of them have already been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions.
Clay Matthews’ injuries might not keep him inactive, but they may limit him somewhat during the game. Matthews is now dealing with hamstring and ankle issues, both of which have plagued him in the past. Meanwhile, cornerback Sam Shields still has yet to return to the field following a concussion in week one and Letroy Guion has not practiced all week after leaving last week’s game early with a knee injury.
