They’re just getting the tarp off the field in advance of the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers showdown with the NFC North title and a trip to the postseason on the line. Both teams have listed their inactives.
For the Bears:
QB Jordan Palmer
OL Joe Long
OL James Brown
OL Jonathan Scott
WR Earl Bennett
DE Cornelius Washington
WR Chris Williams
Earl Bennett has been back home tending to a private family matter all week, so this doesn’t come as a big surprise. Bennett needed 8 catches to hit an incentive in his contract to earn back $500k of the pay cut that he took at the start of the season. Expect to see more of Marquess Wilson and possibly Eric Weems
For the Packers:
WR Chris Harper
CB Jumal Rolle
LB Clay Matthews
LB Brad Jones
G Lane Taylor
C/G JC Tretter
DE C.J.Wilson
Obviously Aaron Rodgers is back, but one of his favorite weapons, Randall Cobb, is also active. It will be interesting to see how this duo comes back after both missing significant time.
