Lingering Doubt with Matthews' Hamstring, but Depth Ready to Answer the call

If you were to say back in July that Nick Perry would be out-playing Clay Matthews during the first half of the season, not very many people would've taken you seriously.

In fact, you may have been offered a full-ride "scholarship" to the nearest mental asylum. But here we are at the butt of October and consequently of Perry churning the gears to a fast start, the aforementioned scenario is absolutely true.

It may be because of the domineering display Perry has shown that the Packers shouldn't rush Matthews back into action from a hamstring injury. Especially due to the simple fact that a similar hamstring injury sidelined him for the team's home-opener against the Lions a month ago.
