The Packers knew they were going to be without outside linebacker Clay Matthews this week, after he had thumb surgery.

But the rest of the injury report looks good heading into Sunday’s game against the 49ers.

Running back Eddie Lacy (ankle), linebacker Brad Jones (ankle), defensive end/linebacker Mike Neal (abdomen), linebacker Nick Perry (foot), and defensive tackle Ryan Pickett (knee) are all listed as probable.

The best news for the Packers is that quarterback Aaron Rodgers wasn’t on the report at all this week, after returning last week from his broken collarbone. But if Lacy is well enough to be a factor, it’s a huge help in a game which will be played in Arctic conditions.
