LB Nick Perry is nursing ankle and shoulder injuries ahead of Saturday's contest against the Vikings.

Analysis: Perry is just the start of a long list of defensive injuries for the Packers. If Davon House (shoulder/back) can't return this week, CB Damarious Randall will be the only cornerback healthy that was also a Week 1 starter. The Vikings compiled 23 points in their first matchup of the season, and that was against a much healthier Packers' defense. To add to the issues, the Vikings are fighting for home field in the NFC playoffs, while the Packers have been eliminated and will be without Aaron…read more

CB Davon House (shoulder/back) will sit out of Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Analysis: The Packers are in the midst of a playoff hunt right now, just as the Panthers are heating up. The Panthers pass attack has struggled lately, but they've played considerable pass defenses, somewhere the Packers will likely struggle without House. Still, the Packers have been able to force six turnovers in the last three games, which gives them the slight potential of a high ceiling. However, with QB Aaron Rodgers as their offensive support, this game looks like it has just as good of a shot at…read more

CB Kevin King (shoulder) is out for the rest of the season.

Analysis: Being without King will affect the Packers more down the line, but in Week 14, they're a must start. The Packers defense has forced a turnover in all but one game this season, including DT Dean Lowry running a fumble back for a touchdown in Week 13. This plays in their favor, as the Browns have turned the ball over 30 times, including a league-high 21 interceptions. To add insult to injury, the Browns have only scored 20 or more points twice this season, setting the Packers up for one of their…read more

DT Kenny Clark continues to nurse an ankle injury ahead of Sunday's matchup with Tampa Bay.

Analysis: Without Clark against the Steelers in Week 12, the Packers defense allowed over 100 yards of rushing for the first time since Week 7 against the Saints' powerful run game. If Clark can't play, the Packers will still worry about the Bucs' third-ranked passing offense, though. QB Jameis Winston is returning and he'll have all the weapons at his disposal if DeSean Jackson (foot) proves to be fine. The Packers proved how vulnerable they are to a star receiver in Week 12, when Antonio Brown schooled…read more

DT Kenny Clark (ankle) isn't expected to play Sunday night against the Steelers.

Analysis: Clark hasn't missed a game since entering the league in 2016, so it's unclear how the Packers will play in his absence. Their big issue is Big Ben, though. QB Ben Roethlisberger is lights out at home during prime time. In his career, he has a 67.6 percent completion rate, while throwing 45 touchdowns and 14 interceptions, battling to an 18-3 record. The Packers defense has actually stepped up in some facets lately, but the lack of offensive support continues to be troubling to their floor. This…read more

SS Morgan Burnett (groin) and LB Nick Perry (foot) are nursing injuries ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Analysis: CB Kevin King (shoulder) is also dealing with injuries, and if he's unable to play, the Packers secondary could look skimp. However, they're matching up with the worst-ranked pass offense in the league, giving them some room for error. The Packers' defense has been doing its best to pick up the slack without Aaron Rodgers (collarbone) and they did well against the Bears in Week 10, allowing just 16 points and forcing a turnover. Green Bay will face a tough test against the Ravens' run offense…read more

SS Morgan Burnett (groin) won't play Sunday against the Bears.

Analysis: It's apparent things aren't going well for the Packers, and losing one of their top defensive players only amplifies their issues. Green Bay does draw a favorable matchup against rookie QB Mitchell Trubisky, who has completed a horrid 47.5 percent of his passes over the last four games. Regardless, the Packers' offense has been brutal the without Aaron Rodgers, losing both the time-of-possession battle in the last two games, logging under 24 minutes of possession each time. The Bears' defense…read more
