Green Bay, WI (Betting Express) - Green Bay Packers running back Ahman Green is listed as inactive for Sunday's NFC North battle with the Minnesota Vikings. Green missed practice all week because of a bruised left kneecap. Green was hurt after being pulled down by Chicago's Mike Brown at the end of a 29-yard run in Green Bay's victory over the Bears last week. He finished the contest with 78 yards on 12 carries. Tests revealed no structural damage in the knee. In 11 games this season, Green has totaled 967 yards and six touchdowns on the ground, while averaging 4.4 yards per carry. Rookie Tony Fisher is expected to make his first career NFL start in Green's place. Fisher, who was a long shot to even make the team during training camp, has gained 170 yards and a touchdown on 39 carries this season. He ran for 91 yards on 17 touches against the Bears. The Packers have already clinched the NFC North, but are still in the running for home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Wide receiver Terry Glenn didn't practice all week with a hip injury, and is also listed as inactive.
