Bashaud Breeland is on his way back to Green Bay, Joe Philbin said. Breeland had been dealing with the deal of someone close to him, but defensive coordinator Mike Pettine said he still expected to use Breeland in some capacity on Sunday at Chicago.
Joe Philbin said Kenny Clark was able to play effectively last Sunday after he came back with his elbow wrapped up following his injury and if he can play against the Bears, he would likely have to have his elbow similarly protected. Clark has yet to practice this week.

Via agent Scott Boras, it doesn't sound like Harper, or interested teams, want a shorter term deal for the free agent: "Owners are really after his legacy, they're after building a brand around him, a team around him. I just don't think there is an appetite from ownership for those types of things. And everyone that wants Bryce wants to make sure he's going to be there a long time."
Kyle Fuller, one of the NFL's interception leaders with seven, would love nothing more than to end Aaron Rodgers' recorded interception-free streak Sunday. "It would definitely feel good to get one off of Aaron Rodgers," Fuller said on a conference call.
