The ankle injury Brooks suffered in Tampa Bay will keep him out at least four games and thins Green Bay's backfield again.
Atlanta will play Sunday night without its veteran edge rusher, who has concussion and neck injuries, and lost a linebacker to injured reserve on the eve of Baltimore's visit.
The third-year linebacker had a sack and an interception before going down untouched in the third quarter, and Green Bay now turns to Isaiah McDuffie and Ty'Ron Hopper ahead of the Bears' visit.
