Packers Health
Linebacker Clay Matthews was a full participant at practice after missing over a month with a hamstring injury. Mike McCarthy hopes to get him back on Sunday when the Packers travel to Chicago. Charles Woodson won’t play on Sunday. Last week, McCarthy said Woodson was close to being ready to return from a broken collarbone. He even practiced a bit but team doctors decided to shut him down at least one more week.

Marshall was held to 2 catches for 24 yards in that game.
