Packers' Matthews blames 'cheap shot' for injury

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Clay Matthews has a separated AC joint in his left shoulder, and he's not happy about what caused it.

The Green Bay Packers linebacker was injured in Monday night's win when Eagles right tackle Allen Barbre delivered a blindside block on an end around in the first quarter.

"I wasn't a fan of it," Matthews said of Barbre's block. "I mean, I've got a lot more to say about it, but I'm going to say it behind closed doors. It was cheap shot, but it is what it is.
