Friday Injury Report: Bills at Green Bay Packers
Here's the Green Bay Packers injury report from Packers.com:
| Player | Pos. | Injury | Friday Participation | Friday Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bishop, Desmond | LB | Hamstring | Did Not Participate | Questionable |
| Clifton, Chad | T | Knee | Full Participation | Probable |
| Colledge, Daryn | G | Illness | Did Not Participate | Questionable |
| Hall, Korey | FB | Hip | Did Not Participate | Questionable |
| Jenkins, Cullen | DE | Hand | Limited Participation | Probable |
| Martin, Derrick | S | Ankle | Did Not Participate | Probable |
| Matthews, Clay | LB | Hamstring | Limited Participation | Probable |
| Neal, Mike | DE | Side/Rib | Did Not Participate | Questionable |
| Underwood, Brandon | CB | Shoulder | Limited Participation | Questionable |
| Woodson, Charles | CB | Toe | Full Participation | Probable |
CB Charles Woodson's bad toe got some press this week, but he's unsurprisingly back. Mike McCarthy said "he's ready to go." LG Daryn Colledge is an unknown since he's just come down sick. If it's a 24 hour bug, then he'll be starting on Sunday.
Despite LT Chad Clifton's chronically bad knees, he should play. DE Cullen Jenkins has a cast on his broken hand and he should continue to play through it. LB Clay Matthews's hamstring has been keeping him out of practice for weeks, but he was just fine against the Eagles. S Derrick Martin played through his bad ankle last week on special teams.
LB Desmond Bishop's bad hamstring has been bothering him for weeks and I expect he's out. They'll probably keep FB Korey Hall inactive and let FB Quinn Johnson go in his place. Mike McCarthy had some optimistic words about DE Mike Neal, but I bet he's out at least one more week. CB Brandon Underwood was still favoring his injured shoulder in practice, so he should be out.
For the Bills, their big news is that FS Jairus Byrd is returning to the starting lineup. The secondary is their team's strength, and he makes it even better. They are missing starting LB Paul Posluszny, who's one of their best defensive players. P Brian Moorman is very good, he was in the top 10 last season for net average, and K Rian Lindell is probably not as good if he's their emergency punter.
The biggest problem concerns the players that are not listed. RB Ryan Grant is not on the report since he's on I.R. and out for the season. There is no way his absence isn't noticed at some point this season, and they have little depth behind RB Brandon Jackson. DE Justin Harrell was lost for the season last week, and with the injuries to Jenkins and Neal, the defensive line is thinning out. The Packers will be fine for this game, but they can't afford any more injuries at either position.

It’d be nice to give Jenkins the week off, but we really can’t afford that with all the other injuries there. Still, Capers should work the scheme and game plan to keep his duty as light as possible. He’s our best lineman, and we’ll need him down the road more than we need him for the Bills.
I'll feel more comfortable giving Jenkins more rest when Mike Neal is back and healthy.

Reminds me of Sterling Sharpe's turf toe problems.
Seem to recall that he didn’t practice much, if at all, for a couple of years.
