GREEN BAY, Wis. - For the second straight year, Nick Perry will need hand surgery.

The Green Bay Packers outside linebacker will undergo the operation this week, coach Mike McCarthy said Thursday. Last year, Perry missed two games in December after he underwent surgery to have multiple screws placed into several broken fingers on his left hand.

McCarthy wouldn't say whether it was the same hand this time, but a source said the injury was much less severe and was only to treat one finger.
