Packers' Matthews: 'Cheap shot' got him hurt vs Eagles (The Associated Press)

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Clay Matthews didn't mince words about the play that got him injured against the Eagles.

''It was a cheap shot,'' Matthews said.

Matthews sustained an injured left shoulder on a crunching first-quarter block from Philadelphia lineman Allen Barbre on Monday night

Matthews missed three plays and returned, then missed the next series while receiving a pain-killing injection. He returned for the Eagles' third series and played most of the rest of the game. Matthews recorded a fourth-quarter sack, his first since the fourth game of the season.
