Green Bay Packers linebacker Nick Barnett will have surgery on his injured right wrist Wednesday, coach Mike McCarthy told reporters on Monday.

Barnett injured the wrist in the Packers' 28-26 victory over the Detroit Lions on Oct. 3.

By electing to have surgery this week, Barnett could potentially return in eight weeks, if his wrist heals correctly, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

The Packers would be required to hold a roster spot for Barnett if they follow this course of action.

"I really can't speculate if we'll hold on to one player versus another," McCarthy said. "Anytime you deal with injuries -- when you get to the six-to-eight week mark -- those are tough decisions to make."

NFL.com's Steve Wyche reported last week that the team is preparing to move forward without Barnett for the rest of the year.

McCarthy also announced that tight end Jermichael Finley, who injured his knee in the Packers' 16-13 loss to the Washington Redskins on Sunday, will have a minor knee scope on Tuesday. He is expected to be out three weeks.

Tight end Donald Lee, who suffered a shoulder injury on Sunday, could miss a couple of weeks, according to McCarthy.

Concussed Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will miss practice time this week. "The concussion did occur on the last play," McCarthy said. "It was fairly evident based on the communication ... just the way (Rodgers) acted. ... We'll definitely take the proper time to see that he recovers."

Linebacker Clay Matthews, who suffered a hamstring strain in the game, had a positive meeting with doctors. The injury is not considered serious, according to McCarthy.

If by the time our roster players are all healthy in the exception of Barnett, we might actually have a great chance. With the return of Barnett that's an if of course, this team might just be ready for the playoffs.

Wouldn't it make more sense to put Barnett on IR and have a player on the roster who could potentially be active on game day?

Putting Barnett on IR would be putting him out for a year. I would much rather have Barnett in the lineup when playoff comes then any other secondary depth player.

Damn, I was hoping we would have Finley for the Minnesota game....he's always good in prime time.

Zombie will kick me for this, but I see no reason to keep a space open for 3 weeks, much less 8.

Can anybody tell me how Donald Lee can catch a TD pass, celebrate with a shoulder shimmy, and then miss the rest of the game and the next two weeks with a shoulder injury? I guess it's just that kind of year.

Lee has played terribly anyway, but I'd like to have all our guys, especially with Finley hurt.

I think I read that he got injured on that fumble. Apparently, he didn't feel anything too bad at first, but it got worse as the game went on.

It was just reported on ESPN that Barnett is out for the season. They are wrong on this one I think...
