GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy expects left tackle Chad Clifton to play in Sunday's game at Detroit.

Clifton sustained a concussion in Sunday's 34-16 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, but he did not show symptoms until Monday, according to the team. He was limited in practice Wednesday as he went through the evaluation process for head injuries. McCarthy said Clifton "went through his normal practice progression" Thursday.

Cornerback Charles Woodson, the 2009 Defensive Player of the Year, continues to recover from an ankle sprain and his availability for Sunday is unclear.

Honestly I was kind of wondering how Lang and Shields would do as starters against the Lions. It might be good getting those guys some time.

Don't get me wrong it's nice to be 100% but this is the last shot to maybe get some of the lower guys some playing time...

Patriots, Giants, Bears and Playoffs probably won't be easy games... the Lions might be...

The Lions are not going to be easy. They weren't easy at week 4, and they won't be easy now. They are the opposite of the Jets in that the Jets always luck out and get the win, and the Lions always JUST miss the win. They have a lot of talent but just can't put a W together a lot of the time, but that certainly doesn't mean that they will be an easy W.

Don't be cinical. What Finley said IS something that may be said a lot, but it is something that people forget ALL OF THE TIME. How many times have fans, or even worse, players, thought that a game would be simple, and they end up losing and looking like fools? How many people thought that we would lose to the Bucs last year? I sure as hell didn't. I thought it would be easy. So did you. So don't give somebody shit for saying something that truly needs to be said more often.

I worry about Cliffy. His knees are bad and McCarthy has acknowleged Clifton's been hurting. There are four more weeks before we even get to the playoffs and I wonder if he will be able to go that long.

Nothing against Lang but what he brings is unknown and that's not a good thing at this point in the season and especially in the playoffs when everybody picks it up a notch.

He may be another guy they plug in and does great if he's needed but boy I really just don't want to go there. It might be different had he gotten a few games under his belt and a little PT. That backside is too important to be taking a chance. One whiff and our QB could be in trouble.

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Dan Campbell on onside kick with 12 minutes left: In hindsight, wish I didn’t do that
