Talk about it

Help may be on the way for battered Packer quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Left tackle Chad Clifton is expected to be back after missing two games with an injured ankle.

Also expected is former starter Mark Tauscher, who is trying to comeback from a serious knee injury. He's expected to sign a deal soon.

Rodgers needs this bye week for rest after being sacked 20 times in the first four games, including eight times against the Vikings.

Rodgers is not only taking heat from defenders there has been some suggestion the number of sacks are due in part to No. 12 taking too long to get rid of the ball.

The Packers will try to figure it all out this weekend, then move back above the .500 mark a week from Sunday.
