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.
