Todd Bowles put the Pro Bowl safety's absence at two to four weeks, which takes him out of Thursday night's game in Dallas as Tampa Bay tries to avoid an 0–5 start.
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.
Todd Bowles named the undrafted quarterback his Week 5 starter after a 17–14 loss to Green Bay, with Baker Mayfield’s dislocated thumb still keeping him out.
