Commentary:

  • Four players have been ruled out of Sunday's game: Jordy Nelson, Charles Woodson, James Starks and C.J. Wilson.
  • The biggest curveball was the addition of Josh Sitton to the injury report on Friday with a hip injury. Rather interestingly, Mike McCarthy said Sitton's evaluation was "not good," but at the same time said he wasn't concerned about it. The guess here is Sitton will play.
  • Terrell Manning is also questionable, but the Packers have plenty of depth at linebacker and can afford to allow him to heal.
  • A slew of players are probable for the Bears game: T.J. Lang, Marshall Newhouse, Donald Driver, Mike Neal, Davon House, Jerron McMillian. All are predicted to play.
  • Even without Greg Jennings, the Packers can live without Jeremy Ross on Sunday. Word is DuJuan Harris has been working as a return specialist.
  • The toughest inactive choice was defensive lineman Jordan Miller who was just signed to the 53-man roster earlier in the week. As long as Mike Neal plays, the Packers can probably get by with five defensive linemen.
  • If any of the predictions are wrong, Jerron McMillian might one player added to the inactive list. He was added to this week's injury report with a back injury, and the Packers could always have Jarrett Bush play safety in a pinch.
