| Green Bay, WI (MySportsbook) - Detroit Lions quarterback Daunte Culpepper left Sunday's 26-0 loss against the Green Bay Packers with a right hamstring injury. In the third quarter, Culpepper scrambled out to the right under pressure and began to take the ball up field, but he came up lame and limped out of bounds. He stayed under center for the next play, but following that Drew Stanton came on the field to take over quarterbacking duties. Culpepper was just 6-for-14 with 48 yards when he left the game while |

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -Daunte Culpepper left with a right hamstring injury Sunday during Detroit's first possession of the third quarter against the Green Bay Packers after coming up limping on a 5-yard scramble. Culpepper avoided pressure and ran toward the sideline, but began to limp just before he went out of bounds. He was not hit on the play. Culpepper took one more snap, handing off to Kevin Smith for a 1-yard gain before leaving in favor of Drew Stanton. The team said Culpepper's return was question |

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -Wide receiver Calvin Johnson is inactive and rookie Matthew Stafford will serve as the emergency third quarterback for the Detroit Lions' game against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -Losing a road game to the Green Bay Packers is nothing new to the Detroit Lions - they've been doing that since 1992. But last year's loss at Lambeau Field was particularly painful. By dropping their season finale 31-21 to the Packers last December, the Lions sealed their dubious place in NFL history: 0-16. Center Dominic Raiola says the Lions (1-4) don't expect any jarring flashbacks in their return to Lambeau to face the Packers on Sunday. ``I think all of the bad memories are al |

| (MySportsbook) - You might have forgiven the Minnesota Vikings for coming out flat against the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. Six days after their monumental nationally-televised home victory over the rival Green Bay Packers, the Vikings found themselves playing a rock-bottom bad Rams team in the sterile environs of the Edward Jones Dome, with a presumably more competitive game against the Baltimore Ravens looming just ahead on the schedule. Given that scenario, you might not have been too surprised to see Minneso |

The Packers also placed cornerback Will Blackmon on injured reserve with a knee injury. |

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -The Green Bay Packers have turned to a familiar face to help shore up their offensive line: veteran tackle Mark Tauscher. The Packers signed Tauscher on Monday after bringing him in for a workout last week. Tauscher started at right tackle for most of the previous nine seasons for the Packers, but he tore a ligament in his left knee last December. The Packers (2-2) have given up 20 sacks in four games. Tauscher could compete with current starting right tackle Allen Barbre. The team |
