Packers Hayward will continue to fill in for Shields who has set back

Found November 22, 2012 on NFL Draft Zone: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Sam Shields,  Casey Hayward
TEAMS: Green Bay Packers
Indianapolis-colts-green
Packers RCB Sam Shields (ankle) has suffered a setback, and will be sidelined a “couple of weeks.” Shields was originally knocked out with a shin injury, but is apparently dealing with an ankle ailment. He hasn’t played since Week 6. Rookie Casey Hayward has acquitted himself well in Shields’ absence. Hayward has 5 interceptions on the season, to include a forced fumble.  He is a very sure tackler as well, recording 37 tackles already. Hayward has only been forced to start a few times this year, but he has been doing a terrific job.
