Many of the usual suspects are out again. John Simon remains out, as does Jaelen Strong. But with as badly as Brock Osweiler has been recently, I don’t think it’ll matter much. He hardly throws to receivers anyway.

The biggest news is undoubtedly Jadeveon Clowney being out. He has been an anchor for the Texans defense all year. He’s a great defender against the run, but can get after the passer a little bit too. They needed him to put pressure on Aaron Rodgers.

I figure the only way Aaron Rodgers wasn’t going to play is if he woke up and found his leg not attached to his body. However, he won’t have the mobility and improvising that make him so dangerous. Which is bad considering how patchwork his offensive line has been all season.
