LB Clay Matthews appears ready to return from sore hamstring (Yahoo Sports)

Clay Matthews appears ready to return to the field for the Green Bay Packers after the long-haired linebacker sat out another game with a hamstring injury. The decision was made out of an abundance of caution, especially given the Packers will play straight through the end of the regular season without a break following an early bye week. ''I think we didn't want a setback moving forward,'' Matthews said after practice on Thursday.
