The Packers will be without quite a few players against the Vikings on Sunday night, but cornerback Casey Hayward will be active for the first time this season. The second-year player made Charles Woodson expendable this offseason but has not played in a game since injuring his hamstring in the preseason. Starting wide receiver James Jones will be missed on offense with a knee injury. Linebackers Clay Matthews and Brad Jones will also miss the NFC North clash.
