Linebacker Erik Walden, who was arrested on Friday on suspicion of domestic abuse, spent the weekend in a Brown County jail and released Monday, will start the Packers' next game, according to head coach Mike McCarthy.

"I have every anticipation for Erik to start," said McCarthy at his Wednesday press conference.

In front of local media, Walden apologized for the distraction to the fans and said he apologized to his teammates as well.

He will make his next appearance in court on Wednesday Dec. 7 where it could be determined whether he will be charged or not.

According to Tyler Dunne of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel via Twitter, McCarthy is paraphrased as saying, "Walden going through legal process. Based on info, he will play in game. Watching process, never discuss discipline."

Walden has started every game this year at right outside linebacker, is fourth on the team in tackles and has three sacks on the year.

When fellow outside linebacker Frank Zombo has been healthy, he has rotated with Walden during games. Zombo was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and could be playing for the first time since Week 8 against the San Diego Chargers when he hurt his hamstring.

McCarthy did not say whether the two would continue to rotate, or whether Zombo would even play. Zombo was not active the last game against the Detroit Lions this past Thursday.
