Via the Journal-Sentinel, the Green Bay Packers have announced that DE Mike Neal will be active for the first time this season. Of course, that's no guarantee he'll play much because every defensive lineman is active. LT Chad Clifton and LB Frank Zombo are injured, and both inactive. The other players are the usual inactive ones, except TE D.J. Williams. He botched an assignment last week against the Vikings and forced the Packers to burn a time out.

For the Buccaneers, starting S Tanard Jackson is out with an injury that forced him to miss practice this week. They'll apparently go with a rotation at safety, which can't help their lowly rated pass defense.
