CB Kevin King says his groin injury is “day-to-day.”
Meanwhile, after a conference call Wednesday night with NFL Competition Committee members, which includes Packers President Mark Murphy, the NFL issued a statement Thursday saying they will not change the rule on roughing the passer, or the emphasis on the rule. And they also put out a video showing 4 examples of legal quarterback hits, and 4 examples of illegal quarterback hits. Linebacker Clay Matthews, who has been flagged for roughing the passer in three straight games, said he had a chance to talk to Murphy. Matthews said he will keep playing aggressively in his approach to rushing the passer.
