The Packers are dealing with multiple injuries as they attempt to spoil McCarthy’s return on Sunday and boost their fading postseason hopes.
“Trust me, I’m the last person that wants to create any type of distraction or questions for somebody else because we’re at the point in the year now, starting the third quarter of the season, we know what it takes to win a football game,” McCarthy said.Rodgers, who earned two of his four MVP awards while playing for McCarthy, says he appreciates the way his former coach has shown his sentimental side in the days leading up to this matchup.
Cornerback Eric Stokes and wide receiver Romeo Doubs also got hurt in the Lions game and aren’t expected to play. Wide receiver Randall Cobb is on injured reserve. Linebacker De’Vondre Campbell will miss a second straight game.Dallas running back Ezekiel Elliott sounded less than certain he would play after missing the game before the bye with a right knee injury. The two-time rushing champ is listed as questionable. If he does play, it likely will be with a brace.
With Elliott out against the Bears, Tony Pollard matched his career highs in carries and yards rushing with a 54-yard touchdown in “I would say there is urgency,” Elliott said. “But I think what’s important is just making sure my knee is good and ready to go. I plan to play deep into the playoffs, so the long game is definitely the priority.”Young pass-rushing star Micah Parsons faced Tom Brady in his first game as a rookie for the Cowboys last year, and again in the opener this season.
