Clay Matthews isn't returning any time soon. Turns out, surgery was needed on his broken thumb — and it was the team's call. Calling it "a medical decision," Mike McCarthy said Matthews would be out "multiple weeks." If it was up to the all-pro linebacker, the coach said, he'd play Sunday. So now, the Packers are counting even more on this defensive tackle turned end turned outside linebacker.

Experimenting is over. The team needs Neal at outside linebacker.

we will be missing another key player...

After the bad news of Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews lost for the foreseeable future, another integral part of the defense will be sidelined come Sunday as well.

While Nick Perry will slide over to ROLB, the absence of Brad Jones due to a hamstring flare-up means Jamari Lattimore is on tap to make his first NFL start at ILB against the Baltimore Ravens, reports the Green Bay Press Gazette.

“Jamari is a hard-worker. He has aspirations. This is something that he’s wanted,” linebackers coach Winston Moss said. “I think that now it’s come at a time to where it should give him something to really step into and embrace this moment. It doesn’t come along often. He has some shoes to fill. All the guys who have come in in the past have played well and so this is important for him. It’s important for the defense. It’s important for this team.”
