Getty ImagesThe realities of a 53-man roster make it impossible for the Packers to rest all of their starters Sunday against Detroit.
But it sounds like they are going to sit as many key players as possible. Let?s break it down:
Too hurt to play
Wide receiver Greg Jennings (knee), running back James Starks (knee/ankle), return man Randall Cobb (groin), and tackle Bryan Bulaga (knee) won?t play. They would likely be shaky to play even if this was a playoff week.
On the borderline
The Packers list cornerback Charles Woodson (knee) and linebacker Clay Matthews (ankle) as questionable after being limited in practice all week. They would be playing if this was the playoffs, but it sounds like the defensive stars will be rested for most of Sunday?s game, if not all of it. ?They are getting some earned star treatment.
Rodgers uncertain
Packers coach Mike McCarthy wouldn?t even confirm whether Aaron Rodgers would start the game when asked.
?The most important thing with Aaron is he?s ready to play. Whether he starts, we?ll talk about that today,? McCarthy said.
Jason Wilde of ESPNMilwaukee.com believes Rodgers won?t even play a snap. Rodgers played coy.
?What did Mike say?? Rodgers asked. ?I?m going to leave it up to Mike. I?ll let Mike answer that.?
Returning starters
The Packers will kick the tires on two injured starters in preparation for the playoffs. Defensive tackle Ryan Pickett, who has been sorely missed the last few weeks, is expected to return from a concussion. ?Tackle Chad Clifton will play for the first time since hurting his hamstring in Week 5.
Coaches will watch Clifton closely. He?s essentially auditioning to start in the postseason.
Add it all up, and the Lions have a great chance to win in Lambeau and earn the No. 5 seed in the NFC playoffs.

NEW YORK (Reuters) ? U.S. stocks fell more than 1 percent on Wednesday after a hefty year-end rally and the S&P 500 erased gains for the year on renewed concerns about the euro zone's financial health.
The selloff followed the euro's slide to an 11-month low against the U.S. dollar as regional debt worries prompted a wave of selling, with thin trading exacerbating volatility.
"It seems like the weakness in euro, breaking that $1.30 level, really made investors push that 'sell' button," said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist with Schaeffer's Investment Research in Cincinnati.
"But it's somewhat of an exaggerated move, considering that there isn't much volume, and this could end in a one-day selloff."
A recent rally on Wall Street had been supported by a series of positive U.S. economic data that encouraged investors to shift their focus from fears about Europe's debt crisis sparking a global recession to optimism that the U.S. economy was on track to recovery.
But "with no domestic economic news to guide the action, much of the focus was on Europe," WhatsTrading.com options strategist Frederic Ruffy said.
U.S. stock index futures had advanced earlier in the session after an Italian debt auction where short-term borrowing costs were halved, potentially a good sign for a sale of longer-dated bonds on Thursday.
But those gains were short-lived, as the euro fell to a session low of $1.2938, its lowest since January, before rising back to trade at $1.2949.
The Dow Jones industrial average (.DJI) fell 139.94 points, or 1.14 percent, to end at 12,151.41. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (.SPX) dropped 15.79 points, or 1.25 percent, to 1,249.64. The Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC) lost 35.22 points, or 1.34 percent, to 2,589.98.
S&P UP 10.5 PCT IN QUARTER
After a 5 percent rally last week that helped Wall Street add to what has been the best quarter in over a year, the S&P 500 pulled back below its 200-day moving average, a closely watched indicator of market strength it has struggled to hold this year.
For the quarter, the S&P 500 is up 10.5 percent.
For the year, the Dow is up 5 percent, while the S&P 500 is down 0.6 percent, and the Nasdaq is off 2.4 percent.
In Wednesday's session, investors concentrated on 2012 with Europe's debt crisis as well as a slowdown in Asia and the impact of Europe's recession on a U.S. recovery on the agenda.
"There are clearly some major hurdles on the horizon," said Peter Kenny, managing director at Knight Capital in Jersey City, New Jersey. "Looking into next year, there is more apprehension about the risks associated with the current climate."
The biggest gaining sectors over the last five days, in cyclical areas like materials and energy, led the market lower on Wednesday, sparked by a drop in commodity prices. The S&P materials sector index (.GSPM) fell 2.2 percent.
Gold sank, tracking industrial metals, on concerns about the prospects for global economic growth next year. It was gold's biggest one-day drop in two weeks.
Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp (MRX.N) fell 1.2 percent to $33.35 a day after cutting its fourth-quarter earnings outlook.
Citigroup Inc (C.N) shed 2.9 percent to $26.13 after U.S. regulators won a delay in a securities fraud lawsuit against the bank. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is seeking to appeal a judge's decision to reject its $285 million settlement with the bank.
Volume was light in the post-Christmas period and ahead of the New Year's Day holiday. Composite volume on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq and Amex was 4.31 billion shares, well below the year's daily average of around 7.9 billion shares.
On both the NYSE and the Nasdaq, about four stocks fell for every one that rose.

NEW DELHI?? A cyclone brought heavy rains and gale-force winds to India's southeastern coast, killing at least 11 people, uprooting trees and damaging homes.
The India Meteorological Department said Friday morning that Cyclone Thane was centered in the Indian Ocean, 22 miles (35 kilometers) southwest of the town of Pondicherry, also known as Puducherry. The weather office said it was likely the storm would weaken and move west.
Heavy rains and winds of speeds reaching 85 miles per hour (140 kilometers per hour) uprooted trees and damaged homes and resulted in 11 deaths, an official in the coastal town of Cuddalore said on condition of anonymity because he wasn't allowed to speak to reporters. The deaths were caused mostly by wall collapses and electrocution, he said.
The bad weather hit trains and flights in the region, Press Trust of India reported.
The weather office said that the seas were expected to be very rough along the coast of Pondicherry and its neighboring areas of southern Andhra Pradesh and the northern coast of Tamil Nadu. Fishermen have been warned not to venture out.

LONDON ? Rioting on Britain's streets and criticism from colleagues during an economic crisis tested the mettle of Margaret Thatcher. Government documents released Friday detail how early challenges shaped the woman who dominated the country's political life for 11 years.
Official records for 1981 released by the National Archives depict a prime minister grappling with violent dissent, rising tensions in Northern Ireland and sharp criticism from her own allies. The papers were being made public just five days before the London premiere of "The Iron Lady," the film about Thatcher's career starring Meryl Streep.
The documents were made public under Britain's policy of withholding sensitive official documents for 30 years.
Elected in 1979, Thatcher ? now aged 86 ? early on cut public spending and prioritized efforts to tame Britain's rocketing inflation rate, bringing a dramatic fall in industrial output and pushing unemployment to 2.5 million. In London's ethnically diverse Brixton neighborhood, and in the impoverished Toxteth suburb of the northern city of Liverpool, anger over joblessness helped fuel the country's worst riots in decades.
Undeterred, the government's March budget had introduced a new financial squeeze, with Treasury chief Geoffrey Howe announcing plans to raise taxes.
That led to a crisis July 23 Cabinet meeting in which Thatcher was confronted by internal critics ? known as the "wets" after the private school slang for "weak" ? who advocated an abrupt change of economic policy to appease public anger. According to minutes of the meeting, Thatcher's critics, many of them supporters of her predecessor Edward Heath, laid out a detailed attack.
"With unemployment totals rising to 3 million later in the year, and following the recent rioting in a number of cities, the tolerance of society was now stretched near to its limit," the critics argued, according to the note.
"To give people renewed hope and confidence for the future, it was essential to take new and constructive action urgently," the document said the leader was told.
Thatcher's combative press secretary Bernard Ingham fired off a memo warning his boss that she led "a manifestly divided and warring Cabinet."
In her memoirs, Thatcher described the meeting as "one of the bitterest arguments on the economy, or any subject, that I can ever recall taking place at Cabinet."
She was not deterred.
Thatcher fired education secretary Mark Carlisle; Christopher Soames, the leader of the House of Lords; and Ian Gilmour, a senior foreign office minister. She switched Jim Prior, then the employment secretary, to the Northern Ireland Office, to stifle his influence over economic policy.
The move calmed loyalists who had feared that Thatcher could be swayed by her opponents.

The tourists were indebted to a 28th Test ton from Kumar Sangakkara, who was dropped on three by Proteas captain Graeme Smith in the first over of the day, and a second half-century in as many innings by brilliant debutant Dinesh Chandimal as they reached 256 for seven when bad light stopped play at Kingsmead.
South Africa won the opening Test by an innings and 81 runs in Centurion, but it now looks like the series will be decided in Cape Town.
Thilan Samaraweera hit a useful 43, while Chandimal continued the rich start to his Test career with a superb 54.
Sangakkara's wicket was finally claimed by Imran Tahir as the Sri Lanka batsman holed out to Smith at deep mid-on for 108, having faced 190 balls.
Rangana Herath (five not out) and Thisara Perera (six not out) came together before bad light forced the teams off in the 71st over.
