Vikings: Chad Greenway out vs. Packers

MINNEAPOLIS -- While the Minnesota Vikings still haven't decided whether quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will play on Thursday night against the Green Bay Packers, they've made plans to be without linebacker Chad Greenway for a second straight game.

Greenway, who is dealing with a broken rib and broken hand, was ruled out for Thursday's game, after he saw his 90-game starting streak come to an end on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Greenway's absence means Gerald Hodges will again start at weak-side linebacker against the Packers.

Greenway and tight end Kyle Rudolph -- who is expected to miss a total of six weeks after sports hernia surgery last week -- are the only Vikings players who will definitely miss the game. Bridgewater was listed as questionable with a sprained left ankle.

The seven other players on the Vikings' injury report -- Captain Munnerlyn, Jerick McKinnon, Josh Robinson, Michael Mauti, Brandon Watts, Rodney Smith and Jerome Felton -- were full participants in Wednesday's practice and are probable for Thursday's game.
