Friday Injury Report for Week 3 vs. Cowboys

10 players listed this week on the Friday injury report. S Atari Bigby's on it and he's the only player who's a lock to miss the Sunday night game, but the good news is his replacement, S Aaron Rouse, hasn't been listed on it all week. Rouse looked slow to react on the two long TD passes to Detroit's WR Calvin Johnson, and Rouse was listed on the injury report last week with a bum ankle. He appears to be over it and he needs to be as close to 100% as possible if he wants to keep up with Owens and Witten.

Starting FB Korey Hall might play, but his iced knee looked bad last week during the game, so he might be out a bit longer. FB John Kuhn is a solid backup, and the Packers won't miss a beat with him instead. Starting C Scott Wells might be back, moving Jason Spitz from C to starting RG, but McCarthy isn't say whether Wells will be back this weekend or next. Backup TE Tory Humphrey might not play, but he hasn't made much of an difference when healthy.

The rest of the listed starters (Clifton, Woodson, Grant) should all play, plus DE Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, which is very good because it would a big problem if any of them missed this game.

Dallas has 9 players listed, along with two starters, FB Deon Anderson and S Roy Williams, who are absolutely out for the game. I can't see why Dallas will miss backup LB Anthony Spencer, so that shouldn't cause them any problems. Anderson shouldn't be tough to replace either. You might think it might hurt them to lose Pro Bowl safety Roy Williams, but he's actually overrated and awful in pass coverage. His absence won't make a big difference in the game either.

Overall both teams come into this game pretty healthy, and hopefully the game ends that way too (of course, with a big Packer win!)

Injuries..

Getting Wells back in any form will be a good thing, even if he can only play a few downs here and there. Bigby will hurt but Rouse wasn’t horrible last year and although he did miss play a few plays last week isn’t a bad second choice. KGB and Grant are two biggies, we need them on the field as much as possible. Jackson has been a good #2 back but is better utilized with Grant being the starter. They’re two different types of backs and you need both to be out there to better.
