MINNEAPOLIS - Rashan Gary did what he could to play this week, but ultimately the Green Bay Packers outside linebacker's hyperextended elbow could not heal in time for him to play Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
Gary is inactive despite practicing throughout the week. He wore a bulky brace over his right elbow, protection that restricted the movement in his right arm. It's possible the Packers want to wait a week for Gary to wear a less restrictive brace.
Without Gary, the Packers are down to three outside linebackers: Preston Smith, Jonathan Garvin and Tipa Galeai. Oren Burks might also get snaps on the edge.
