Green Bay, WI (My Sportsbook) - Green Bay Packers rookie fullback Najeh Davenport broke a bone in his eye socket during Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Packers head coach Mike Sherman said Davenport will miss next Sunday's showdown in Tampa Bay against the Buccaneers. Both teams enter the contest with 8-2 records, best in the NFL. Offensive lineman Marco Rivera sprained the medial collateral ligament in his right knee in the first quarter of Sunday's game, but there is a chance he could play Sunday. Sherman indicated Rivera suffered a partial tear of a ligament. Cornerback Tyrone Williams strained his left hamstring late in Sunday's game at the Metrodome and linebacker Na'il Diggs had an MCL strain. Both players are listed as questionable for the Tampa Bay game. Defensive end Aaron Kampman broke a bone in his hand during pregame warmups and also suffered a mild concussion during the Minnesota game. Kampman is expected to play with a cast on his hand against the Bucs. Sherman said he expected defensive tackle Cletidus Hunt to return from a right knee injury for the game against Tampa Bay.
