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.
