The Packers have another 15 names on this week's report, including 13 who either are starters or play significant snaps.
On Friday, the Green Bay Packers released their initial injury report for their week 11 game against the Minnesota Vikings, and it is once again a length list of banged-up players. 15 names appear on the list this week, but as was the case a week ago, most of them have been given the "Probable" designation.
Three key players are listed as Questionable, however, with a variety of injuries. Safety/slot cornerback Micah Hyde has a hip injury, guard T.J. Lang has been limited with a shoulder injury, and Ty Montgomery's ankle issue forced him to pull out of Thursday's practice early. Wideout Jared Abbrederis was ruled out for Sunday as expected, following the rib injury that head coach Mike McCarthy described as one that would keep him out "several weeks."
The biggest name on the report is of course Aaron Rodgers, who was limited in practice on Wednesday but participated fully on Thursday. His right shoulder issue has him listed as Probable, along with a host of other Packers starters including three offensive linemen. Clay Matthews is also Probable with his nagging ankle and knee issues suffered late in the game against the Broncos, but he is expected to suit up and be his normal self on Sunday.
As usual, all of these players' statuses are subject to change on Saturday, as the Packers traditionally hold their final practice of the week on that day instead of Friday. Look for a few likely changes tomorrow following that practice session.

The Minnesota Vikings have a similar injury report, with lots of big names listed as Probable and a few key players Questionable. Those players whose statuses are less sure include a starting safety and the team's left tackle. If either cannot play, expect the Packers to try to take advantage of the backups that would be starting in their places.
