Agreed. I also hope CM3s hang nail doesn't hold him out of anything else.

Most NFL injuries are very legit. It doesn't change the fact that they can't help their team win if they are injured and on the bench. The Packers don't seem to have any dependable and available outside linebackers really. Perhaps Julius Peppers?

It is too bad Perry has been far less reliable than Clay...USC hasn't done us many favors in the way of health. It seems like a lot of those guys are very injury prone at the NFL level. Cushing, Maualuga, Mays, Bush, Tyron Smith, etc, etc. Those USC guys are soft. I wonder if they're given certain things at USC that make their bodies less able to stand up over the long haul.
