Spikes, who missed time in practice this week because of a hamstring injury, will be replaced by Matt Wilhelm.

The Packers welcome back several players from recent injuries, including tight end Jermichael Finley (knee), linebacker Aaron Kampman (concussion) and right tackle Mark Tauscher (knee). Backup running back Ahman Green, who missed Friday's practice with a groin injury, is inactive.
