With Sam Shields and Datone Jones ruled out, who will take their place on Sunday's active roster?
Here's our best guess at predicting the Green Bay Packers' game-day roster for Sunday's Week 7 match-up against the Carolina Panthers. Reminder, only 46 players can be active.
The entire roster is included. Those bold and italicized are predicted to be inactive...

I really hope you are wrong on Lattimore. Brad Jones is just awful and last thing GB needs while going against a strong run team like Carolina

IMO, the way to deal with Lattimore being down is more Nick Perry and less Brad Jones.

Brad Jones plays ILB and Nick Perry plays OLB. Perry would make a horrible ILB. Sam Barrington would likely be the guy to play ILB if the coaches didn't want B. Jones to play and Lattimore was hurt, and Bradford would likely be after him.

Clay Matthews has been playing inside some this season. He would be the OLB I'd shift inside in order to see more of Nick Perry and less of Brad Jones.
Of course, the point is moot since Lattimore is active.

If that predictions is accurate, the Packers are only sitting 2 healthy players. Of the 5 that are on the "preferred 46" but not expected for this weekend, 4 are defensive starters, all of whom have played well this year.
I'm not as panicked about that as I might have expected a month ago.

This team will go as far as the defense can take them. I thought 10-6 at the start of the year, but 11-5 looks pretty reachable if the defense can continue to improve. We know the offense will.

Looks as if Goodson will be the dime back, although they could move Hyde around to keep him off the field. If he's on the field, I think the Panthers will attack his spot. Very worried about Brad Jones. I'd rather have an 80% Barrington than a 100% Jones.

If Lattimore only had a stinger shouldn't he be playing this week?
