The Green Bay Packers injury report is long, but only 3 players will miss Sunday.
CB Trevor Ford was recently signed from the practice squad and has only played on special teams. He hurt his knee at the end of practice on Wednesday, and it's unlikely he'll play. His absence will be offset by the return of CB Brandon Underwood, though I'm not sure either can be trusted in pass coverage.
NT Ryan Pickett recently had a setback with the hamstring injury he suffered against the Ravens. They're better with Pickett than without, but his absence won't be felt if no one is running the ball against them. In the last two weeks, the Bears only had 17 rushing attempts, and the Steelers 19.
LB Jeremy Thompson will miss another game after suffering a serious neck injury in practice a few weeks ago. He could be placed on I.R., but the team must not feel like adding any new faces this late in the season.
For the Seahawks, their injury list is much shorter but it includes two big names. They will be without leading receiver WR Nate Burleson, who hasn't practiced all week. And rookie LB Aaron Curry, the No. 4 overall pick last April, hasn't practiced all week either due to a shoulder injury. The Seahawks should miss both players.
The complete injury list is after the jump.
