The Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions announced their injury reports for their week 17 game this Friday afternoon, and each team will be missing one key player on defense. Of the combined ten players on the two teams' reports, eight are listed as Probable and just two are out.

For the Packers, four of the six players are starters, including quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who suffered a calf injury during last week's win at Tampa Bay. However, the only player out is second-string cornerback Davon House, who will miss his third straight game with a shoulder injury.
