Packers LB Matthews Probably For Vikings Game

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers expect star linebacker Clay Matthews to play Sunday at Minnesota.

Matthews is probable for the game, Green Bay's first on the road in nearly a month.

Matthews, whose switch to inside linebacker the last two games has been a boon for a previously struggling defense, has been dealing with a recurring groin injury. After starting the last two games at outside linebacker, Nick Perry is questionable for the game. He has a shoulder injury and hasn't practiced this week.

The Packers added defensive end Datone Jones to the injury report as questionable. Coach Mike McCarthy says Jones turned a previously injured ankle in practice Thursday. Guards T.J. Lang (ankle) and Josh Sitton (toe) are probable.
