The
Packers may be short-handed on the offensive line on Sunday night when they
host the Chicago Bears.  Right guard TJ
Lang is still battling an ankle injury and we found out on Wednesday that left
guard Josh Sitton torn a ligament in his toe in the loss to New Orleans and may
not be able to play.  Mike McCarthy
wouldn’t reveal his plan on the line if both players are out.  Aaron Rodgers also said that his hamstring
that he tweaked against the Saints is OK. 
Sunday night’s game kicks off at 7:30pm with pregame coverage beginning
at 5pm on KFIZ.

 

The
Packers also announced that they will sell some “standing room only” tickets
for the upcoming home games against the Bears and Eagles at Lambeau.  They will cost $75.
