Packers: Nelson, Matthews, Starks, Woodson Ruled Out

The Green Bay Packers have ruled out wide receiver Jordy Nelson, linebacker Clay Matthews, running back James Starks and safety Charles Woodson for Sunday night’s game against the Detroit Lions, reports Tim Twentyman of Lions.com. LB Clay Matthews, WR Jordy Nelson, RB James Starks, DB Charles Woodson and DE C.J. Wilson all out Sunday for Packers — Tim Twentyman (@ttwentyman) December 7, 2012 Starks suffered a knee injury last weekend against the Minnesota Vikings. After his knee flared up on him Monday it was checked out by doctors who didn’t like what they saw. Coach Mike McCarthy has since come out and said that he expects Starks to miss multiple weeks due to the injury. Matthews and Nelson continue to be sidelined due to hamstring injuries. Woodson is attempting to return from a broken collarbone, and he’ll be out another week due to the injury. Beyond Nelson, Matthews, Starks and Woodson, the Packers have also ruled defensive lineman C.J. Wilson out due to a knee injury.
