Cardinals vs. Packers inactives: Andre Ellington to play, no Rashad Johnson, Sam Shields

The inactives are out for the Green Bay Packers and Arizona Cardinals, and there is a surprise. Starting safety Rashad Johnson, who was expected to play after missing last week's contest, is inactive and will not dress for the big game, leaving a pretty big hole in a secondary already missing Tyrann Mathieu.

That means Tony Jefferson and D.J. Swearinger will start at safety for Arizona and leave Chris Clemons the only help off the bench.

In better news, running back Andre Ellington is active and will back up David Johnson, who rushed for 187 yards and three touchdowns last week.
