After watching Aaron Rodgers get roughed up for yet another afternoon, Green Bay could welcome back two veteran tackles to its offensive line this week.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy hinted strongly on Wednesday that Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher will start Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.
Clifton hasn't played a full game since the opener because of a nagging right ankle injury, and Tauscher re-signed with the team last month after spending most of the year rehabbing from a torn left anterior cruciate ligament.
The Packers have allowed a league-worst 31 sacks.
• CABLE MEETS WITH DAVIS: Coach Tom Cable said he spoke recently with Raiders owner Al Davis about allegations that Cable has a history of violent behavior toward women. Cable said his job status was not discussed.
• COLTS LOSE HAGLER: Colts linebacker Tyjuan Hagler is out for the rest of the season because of a ruptured biceps. Philip Wheeler and undrafted rookie Ramon Humber are expected to replace Hagler.
• WESTBROOK TO RETURN: Eagles running back Brian Westbrook says he will be back on the field for Sunday's game against Dallas following a concussion that forced him to miss a game.
