Seattle Seahawks vs Green Bay Packers Injury Report, Matchup

GREEN BAY, WI — The Green Bay Packers journey to the Super Bowl begins with a matchup against an old west coast nemesis. The Packers will host the Seattle Seahawks on Jan. 12 at Lambeau Field.

If the Packers win their game on Jan. 12, they will move on to play in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday, Jan. 19. That game would be televised on FOX at 5:40 PM CT.

Injuries A Factor

For the Packers, the big questions are centered around the team's defensive front line. Nose Tackle Kenny Clark was limited in practice with a back issue, and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. How much - or well - he plays is up in the air. His backup, Tyler Lancaster, is also listed as questionable after he was one of the several players who caught the flu bug last week.

The Seahawks are battling some significant injuries on their offensive and defensive lines. Guard Mike Iupati might not play on account of a serious neck injury. Tackle Duane Brown is recovering from knee surgery and has missed the last three games. According to Fansided, getting Brown back means the team can open up the run game a little bit, on account of him being one of the better linemen on the team.

Tackle George Fant is hampered by a groin injury. Defensive end Ziggy Ansah hurt his neck last week in the team's wild card win over Philadelphia. Defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson is limited over a groin injury.
