Coming into this season, Clay Matthews and Nick Perry have missed a combined 12 games over the last two seasons. The 31-year-old Matthews has lost a step and has had nagging hamstring injuries and oh yeah, got hit in the face with a line drive in a charity softball game this summer. Perry, 28, just got cleared from the PUP list after undergoing offseason ankle surgery and also suffered a broken hand, which is why Perry was forced to play with a club.
Matthews and Perry make up 11.36 percent of the Packers cap hit for this season.
