Packers confident Clay Matthews (groin) will play against Bears
The Green Bay Packers are confident linebacker Clay Matthews will play Sunday against the Chicago Bears, the team announced Friday.
Matthews, 28, has been limited during practice after injuring his groin during the fourth quarter of last week's loss to the Detroit Lions. With the game out of reach, he did not play after the injury. The Packers have listed Matthews as probable to play Sunday.
