Packers Injury Report: Clay Matthews, Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings

While Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy didn’t offer an injury update on wide receivers Jordy Nelson and Greg Jennings, he did not rule out the possibility that linebacker Clay Matthews could be available this weekend when the team takes on the Detroit Lions, reports ESPN Wisconsin. Asked as a follow-up whether Matthews, whom he initially said would miss “a couple weeks,” might in fact be available this week, McCarthy did not rule him out. Matthews pulled his hamstring during a Nov. 4 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. McCarthy indicated that the team was putting the linebacker through “some tougher rehab” yesterday and would see how he responded. Jennings missed last weekend’s contest while continuing to recover from abdominal surgery, while Nelson exited early following an ankle injury. Nelson was considered questionable heading into the weekend due to a hamstring injury. Beyond Matthews, Jennings and Nelson, Packers fans will receive injury updates later in the week regarding safety Charles Woodson (collarbone) and fullback John Kuhn (hamstring).
