Getting inside the NFC North's injury situation:

CHICAGO BEARS

* Out: Receiver Brandon Lloyd (knee), safety Danieal Manning (hamstring)

* Doubtful: None

* Questionable: Cornerback Trumaine McBride (shoulder), linebacker Nick Roach (shoulder), cornerback Charles Tillman (shoulder), cornerback Nate Vasher (wrist) * Probable: Receiver Marty Booker (back), receiver Rashied Davis (knee), defensive tackle Tommie Harris (knee), defensive tackle Marcus Harrison (ankle), defensive tackle Israel Idonije (ankle), punter Brad Maynard (hamstring)

What it means: The Bears hope to have Vasher back. It might be tough for Tillman to get back on the field.

DETROIT LIONS

* Out: None

* Doubtful: None

* Questionable: Cornerback Leigh Bodden (knee), defensive tackle Chuck Darby (calf), cornerback Travis Fisher (knee), guard Stephen Peterman (hand), defensive end Corey Smith (hamstring)

* Probable: Running back Kevin Smith (shoulder)

What it means: Bodden and Darby seem likely to play. Peterman is hoping to return after missing two games.

GREEN BAY PACKERS

* Out: Cornerback Al Harris (spleen)

* Doubtful: Safety Atari Bigby (hamstring), defensive end Jason Hunter (hamstring), receiver James Jones (knee), defensive end Michael Montgomery (ankle)

* Questionable: Defensive tackle Ryan Pickett (tricep), center Scott Wells (shoulder/chest)

* Probable: Tackle Chad Clifton (hamstring), cornerback Pat Lee (back), quarterback Aaron Rodgers (shoulder), cornerback Charles Woodson (toe)

What it means: None of the doubtful players are expected to be active. Aaron Rouse once again will replace Bigby. Pickett and Wells should play.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS

* Out: Linebacker David Herron (hip)

* Doubtful: None

* Questionable: Receiver Bernard Berrian (knee), linebacker Erin Henderson (knee), receiver Sidney Rice (knee), safety Madieu Williams (neck)

* Probable: Tight end Jim Kleinsasser (foot), cornerback Benny Sapp (hamstring)

What it means: The Vikings will be on to their third middle linebacker of the season because of Herron's injury. The starter is likely to be Dontarrious Thomas. Rice will try to get back on the field but coaches have been wary of his knee. Williams returned to full practice this week and might need a little more conditioning before he's ready to play.
