Green Bay didn't practice Wednesday but issued an injury report as
if it did. Matthews was listed as out.
Matthews got hurt during a sack in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the
Pittsburgh Steelers. Matthews missed four games earlier this season
after initially breaking the thumb in Week 5 in October.
Matthews looked to be in extreme pain on the sideline Sunday after
the sack. Coach Mike McCarthy has described it as a "repeat injury."
The Packers had Christmas day off. They return to practice Thursday,
when the team is also expected to announce if quarterback Aaron
Rodgers is ready to return from a left collarbone injury.
