The bye week was much needed for the Packers, who used it to clean up a very littered injury report. It looks to have worked, with many players listed as probable for the game against the Lions. In fact, of the ten names on the list, seven are probable to play.
Safety Morgan Burnett, cornerback Jarrett Bush, fullback John Kuhn, and linebacker Clay Matthews all look to return from hamstring injuries that have hampered them through the first few weeks of the season. All of them practiced in full for the entire week (except for Matthews who was limited on Wednesday), and all are officially listed as probable.
Tight end Jermichael Finely, and running back Eddie Lacy look to have recovered from concussions that forced them from games prior to the bye. While Johnathon Franklin has seemed to have recovered from a foot injury he was dealing with.
CB Casey Hayward (hamstring), RB James Starks (knee), and guard/center Greg Van Roten (foot) all remain out with their respected injuries.
UPDATE: Clay Matthews is headed to the locker room with an injury.
