WR Jarrett Boykin to miss Packers' game against Vikings; Matthews probable
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Receiver Jarrett Boykin will miss the Green Bay Packers' game against the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night with a groin injury.
Boykin hasn't practiced this week. He also missed Sunday's 38-17 win over the Chicago Bears.
The absence of Boykin should mean more opportunities for rookies Davante Adams and Jeff Janis in the Packers' three-receiver sets. Green Bay opened last week against the Bears with two tight ends and two receivers.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Defensive tackle Josh Boyd (knee) and backup linebacker and special teamer Sam Barrington (hamstring) are also doubtful for Green Bay.
Linebacker Clay Matthews is probable with a groin injury. He has been a full participant all week at practice. Mike Neal (hip) is also probable, though he missed Wednesday's practice.
