Game 8: Jags at Pack
Posted: Sun Oct 28, 2012 4:08 pm
Hard to believe the season will be half over after this game.
Green Bay - Here are the game-day inactives for the Packers-Jaguars game:
PACKERS
•WR Jordy Nelson
•FB John Kuhn
•CB Sam Shields
•LB Nick Perry
•WR Greg Jennings
•S Charles Woodson
ANALYSIS: The Packers weren't going to take any chances with Nelson (hamstring), especially with the 1-5 Jaguars coming in. They left open a small window of opportunity for him to come back after he pulled his hamstring Wednesday in practice and decided it wasn't worth putting him on the field. With both he and Jennings out, expect TE Jermichael Finley to receive a lot of double coverage and WR Randall Cobb to be shadowed . This should be a big opportunity for rookie WR Jarrett Boykin to show what he's got. He should get a lot of snaps. Also, Johnny White will be the No. 3 back behind Alex Green and James Starks with Kuhn (hamstring) out. Rookie C Greg Van Roten is active this week.
JAGUARS
•CB Derek Cox
•RB Montell Owens
•CB Dwight Lower
•RB Maurice Jones-Drew
•WR Laurent Robinson
•DT D'Anthony Smith
•DT Jeris Pendleton
ANALYSIS: The Jaguars will be without two members of their starting secondary: Lowery and Cox. William Middleton will start for Cox and Chris Prosinski will start at FS for Lowery. CB Rashean Mathis, who was limited in practice this week, will start.
