As the Green Bay Packers prepare to move forward without Aaron Rodgers, it looks promising that they will be getting their biggest star back on the other side of the ball. The potential return of Clay Matthews (and his partner in crime Nick Perry) will be a big factor in Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Beyond those storylines, there are a few other interesting tidbits around Packers media today, including a bit on the newest former Badger to don the green and gold. Start clicking!

Mike McCarthy will craft a game plan for Seneca Wallace - JSOnline
This just in from the "obvious headlines" department...let's assume Matt Flynn's game against the Patriots is the ceiling this week. Is that kind of performance enough to beat the Eagles on Sunday? You bet your ass it is.

Clay Matthews and Nick Perry may return Sunday - JSOnline
The Packers' starting outside linebackers were both limited in practice on Wednesday but expect to practice fully on Thursday. I think that if both of them play, Green Bay wins on Sunday.

Philly-Green Bay gets a 2 out of 5. They have Detroit-Chicago and Carolina-San Francisco at 5's, though, so who knows.

The problem here is that there aren't enough Johnsons in the trenches to field a competitive team. There are plenty of receivers, running backs, corners, and the like, but not enough linemen.
