Pre-Game Injury Report: Green Bay Packers at Chargers

by Brandon on Nov 5, 2011 7:02 AM CDT in Green Bay Packers Preview

Coming off the bye week, the Green Bay Packers are pretty healthy and have one of their shortest injury reports this season. There are six players listed as probable, and I expect they'll all be available on Sunday. Clifton and Neal are out again this week, as they've been for the past couple weeks (months in Neal's case).

The Chargers are dealing with more injuries. DE Luis Castillo is listed as out, but he hasn't played since week 1 so his absence is no surprise. Starting OL Kris Dielman is out after suffering a concussion and a seizure on a plane ride a couple weeks ago. It would be very surprising if either starting RB Ryan Mathews or LB Shaun Phillips played, but the injury report says there's a chance they'll play. Starting WR Malcom Floyd hasn't practiced all week, and neither has backup LB (and former Packer) Na'il Diggs, but don't be surprised if they're both available. That's a long list with five starters, but those absences shouldn't cause them any serious problems.

The complete injury report is at Packers.com. More on the Charger injuries at Bolts From The Blue.

In keeping with my complete disgust

Someone name a good charity and if Neal plays an actual down in 2011 I will donate $50 in the name of Acme Packing

Good Charity...

The ManKind Project (MKP.org). Their motto is healing the planet one man at a time. On their weekend training each man comes away w/ his own mission statement that helps guide him to lead a better life for himself, his family, and the world at large. Words spoken on the weekend are accountability and integrity…words not often used in today’s society.

It’s given the impetus for some men to do workshops in the WI prison system.

I wanna play against Na'il Diggs!

I already told you! I deal with the god damn receivers so the linebackers don’t have to! I have coverage skills; I’m good at covering people! Can’t you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?!

He's still around?!?!?!?

I thought he would have retired years ago.
