Vikings vs. Packers Inactives: Casey Hayward in, Nick Perry still out

With kickoffs for Packers vs. Vikings a little over an hour out, we finally have some answers about a number of injured players.

There was some optimism earlier Friday that Nick Perry might return from a broken foot that has sidelined him the past two weeks, but it appears he'll have to wait until next Monday's divisional showdown with the Bears.

On a positive note, cornerback Casey Hayward is set to make his season debut after missing the first seven weeks with a hamstring. What Hayward's exact role will be is unknown, but he provides needed playmaking ability for a defense that has forced only three interceptions so far this year.

The full inactives for both teams are listed below.

Packers

• OLB Nick Perry
• ILB Brad Jones
• WR James Jones
• OLB Clay Matthews
• CB James Nixon
• TE Ryan Taylor
• TE Jermichael Finley

Vikings
