MADISON, Wis. -- Safety Atari Bigby and Chad Clifton both practiced on Thursday for the second straight day and both are expected to play Sunday against the Detroit Lions. On the other side, the Lions are expected to be without rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford and star receiver Calvin Johnson.Bigby said he doesn't think jaw-jarring tackles are the biggest contribution he can make in his return from a knee injury in the season-opener. Bigby said his biggest asset is confidence that rubs off on his teammates."The reality has set in that we are 2-2 and we feel like we should be 4-0," said Packers receiver Donald Driver, "But, that is not the reality and we feel that we just need to get back to the way we played in the pre-season."Kickoff is set for noon at Lambeau Field.blog comments powered by Disqus
