*Kenny Clark – Noteworthy
DL Kenny Clark is ready to take more snaps after DL Muhammad Wilkerson went down against the Redskins on Sunday with a knee injury. “I did it before,” Clark said. “I can. If that’s what’s asked of me, I can. I’m not going to ever say no. If I had the choice, I’d be out there every play if I could. I can, if that’s what needed.”
Clay Matthews – Noteworthy
LB Clay Matthews’ hit on Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith in the third quarter on Sunday has inflamed controversy over legal and illegal hits. Matthews was whistled for a rougher the passer penalty on a sack. But Matthews was flagged for putting his entire boby weight on top of the Smith. It was the third roughing the passer call against Matthews this season.
Dean Lowry – Noteworthy
DT Dean Lowry, who has played 57 snaps this season, is expected to get more playing time on defense with Muhammad Wilkerson out with a knee injury. “Mo’s a really good player and we definitely are going to miss him, but we’ve got the most confidence in Dean,” Packers DL Kenny Clark said. “Dean was a starter last year, played a lot of football, and he’s played a lot this year. We’re not concerned about losing Mo and having Dean come in and replace him.”
Muhammad Wilkerson – Noteworthy – Injury
DE Muhammad Wilkerson will miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury that occurred during the game against the Washington Redskins on Sunday, according to reports. Packers coach Mike McCarthy told reporters on Monday that Wilkerson was to undergo a procedure in Washington before returning to Green Bay. “I would say it’s significant, but that’s as far as the details I have right now,” McCarthy said.
Nick Perry – Noteworthy
OLB Nick Perry is in the Packers’ concussion protocol after Sunday’s loss to the Washington Redskins. Perry had seven tackles before he left the game.
