Packers C Corey Linsley (ankle), S Micah Hyde (hip) exit in 1st quarter

MINNEAPOLIS -- Corey Linsley played every snap in 2014. He did the same in the first nine games of this season.

For more than a season and a half, the Green Bay Packers center had not missed an offensive play in his NFL career.

That came to an end in the first quarter of Sunday's 30-13 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Linsley left the game with an ankle injury and was ruled out after being examined in the locker room.

JC Tretter, who was slated to be the Packers' starting center in 2014 before a knee injury gave the job to Linsley, replaced him.

The Packers also lost reserve defensive back Micah Hyde to a hip injury, the same ailment that had him on the injury report in the week leading up to the game. Hyde was injured while giving up a 47-yard touchdown pass to Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph in the first quarter.
