From The Associated Press:

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy says it's too early to tell when veteran left tackle Chad Clifton will return from an ankle sprain.

For now, the Packers are preparing for Sunday's game in St. Louis as if Daryn Colledge will replace him.

Clifton was carted off the field in the third quarter of Sunday's loss to Cincinnati. Colledge shifted over from left guard and struggled. McCarthy says he is confident Colledge will play better if given a week to prepare.

Also, safety Nick Collins has a clavicle sprain and safety Aaron Rouse a neck stinger. Their injuries will be re-examined later this week.

Suck it up Chad.

Put an ACE bandage on it and get back out there

Colledge is not a tackle. Can't move in space. IMO put the kid Lang in there, at least he's a tackle. Why weaken two positions?

Actually Colledge played tackle in college and was drefted there with the premise that he was the air apparant to Clifton till they saw how well he filled in at guard when that was a huge problem for us, he'll be fine, and minus Barbre it puts our best offesive line out there with Clifton injured, Wells is a premier Center and Spitzy can play any of the three inside positions, and besides Howie Longs kid is gonna light up Barbe this week so we won't hear a thing from Colledge's side of the ball!!!
