Mike McCarthy stated that starting Left Tackle Chad Clifton will miss "a number of weeks" with a "significant hamstring injury." This is not good news for the Packers, and it will not surprise me if this is the end of Clifton's career in Green Bay.
The good news is that Marshall Newhouse held up well in his place, and will be the likely starter against the St. Louis Rams this week.
There is a chance that Bryan Bulaga could return against the Rams as well and would likely return at Right Tackle. If Bulaga is unable to go, then rookie 1st round draft pick Derek Sherrod will get the nod at RT.
Both young tackles played well against Atlanta, and if Newhouse continues to improve and protect Rodgers in the coming weeks Clifton will be out of a job by the time he is able to return.
As always, stay tuned for more updates. GO PACK!
