The Green Bay Packers are the heavy favorites for this weekend's game against the Minnesota Vikings, but injuries could ultimately play a crucial game during the Monday Night Football Game. The Packers released their first injury report of the week on Thursday, and unlike the Vikings, they have a multitude of key injuries.
The Packers have already ruled out two key contributors as linebacker Frank Zombo and left tackle Chad Clifton will definitely not play on Monday against the Vikings. Along with those two, however, Clay Matthews was also held out due to a knee injury -- though there's no indication that he will miss the primetime game.
