GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Packers banged-up defense has taken another hit with linebacker Nick Perry ruled out for Sundays game against the Seattle Seahawks with what coach Mike McCarthy called a significant hand injury.Perry, who leads the team with eight sacks, was also effective against the run. He got hurt in the first half of last weeks win over Houston before returning after halftime playing with a heavily-wrapped left hand.McCarthy said Wednesday that he didnt know how long Perry would be sidelined, but that the pass rusher would be re-evaluated on Monday.The loss of Perry is the latest blow to a defense that has had injuries mount at cornerback and now linebacker. McCarthy said Clay Matthews wont practice on Wednesday or Thursday as he works through a left shoulder injury .Each week its going to get better. Thats the hope. As far as having a setback, it didnt help him playing in the game, McCarthy said. Well get to Saturday and kind of see where we are. But the goal is to try to get some strength back in the shoulder.The addition of Perry to the injury report means the four linebackers who began the season as starters will have all missed at least a game this year. At inside linebacker, Blake Martinez has missed the last two games with a knee injury, while Jake Ryan returned last week from a two-game absence because of an ankle injury.They are what they are. I know nobody wants to talk about, McCarthy said about injuries before practice. Our job is to put players in position to be successful. We feel good about our plan, and plan on being successful Sunday.Green Bay (6-6) has won two straight games to get back to .500, holding the Eagles and Texans each to 13 points after having allowed at least 31 in four straight games, all losses.The Packers face a critical contest against Seattle. Green Bay is tied with Minnesota for second place in the NFC North, two games back of Detroit with four games left in the regular season.Defensive lineman-linebacker Datone Jones said the unit has improved the last two games because of better understanding of the system. Just in time, too.Its no secret, we just got back to .500. We lose a few games and then its over with. So at the end of the day we all understand that, Jones said. At the end of the day were fighting for something bigger than us, were fighting for each other. Try to keep it up, keep grinding it out.Julius Peppers also could be in line for more work after the Packers managed the 15-year veterans snaps earlier in the season. Peppers has a sack in each of his last three games.As for Perry, the hand injury takes away from what had been a breakout season for the first-round pick in the 2012 draft out of Southern California.I feel terrible for Nick. He was having a great season. Clearly, his best season, McCarthy said. Hes had a setback.INJURY REPORTStarting RG T.J. Lang returned to practice after missing the last three games with a foot injury. I think maybe if I go out tomorrow and do some things and feel amazing, I can talk my way out onto the field. I probably dont see that happening. Just have to take it day by day, Lang said. ... C JC Tretter (knee) also returned to practice. He has missed the last five games. ... Ryan and Martinez were both limited.QUOTABLEYoure playing something that matters, so theres nothing thats going to keep me off the field. -- QB Aaron Rodgers, who was limited again in practice with a left hamstring injury.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLReggie Ragland Super Bowl Jersey .

In taking its goal tally to 99 in all competitions already this season, City delivered another demonstration of its lethal firepower at Etihad Stadium to set up a fourth-round match at home to another second-tier team -- Watford.Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has taken a beating in his NFL career, far more than any quarterback in recent history. And suddenly, at the still-young age of 27, Newton is facing the first flash point between playing style and long-term future.Newton is officially cleared to return from a concussion suffered when he tried scrambling into the end zone in Week 4. The play, and his subsequent one-game absence, was a reminder that no quarterback -- not even one who broke into the league with a patented Superman celebration -- can indefinitely absorb unnecessary punishment without consequence.?Ahead of Sundays game in New Orleans, lets take a closer look at what Newton has exposed his body to during his six-year career. The Panthers say they wont limit his running or impose a fundamental change in their offense, but well consider a suggestion for lessening the toll nonetheless.Newton has been hit on 831 plays over 82 games in his career, an average of about 10 per game. The number may sound small, but it is actually extraordinary in the context of other quarterbacks. The next-closest quarterback has taken nearly 300 fewer hits over the same time period. This tally includes every play he has been hit on while either on the run or while throwing, but it is capped at one hit per play and doesnt include contact after the throw or on two-point conversions.Most hits sustained by QBs, since 2011This level of contact has occurred for a variety of reasons. First, Newton has displayed an admirable but ultimately dangerous trait of holding the ball while looking for open receivers. Since entering the league in 2011, he has averaged more time per pass in the pocket than all but one qualified quarterback.Average time spent in the pocket, since 2011Playcalling designed to maximize his strengths also has played a role.dddddddddddd Since 2011, the Panthers have called more than twice the number of designed runs for Newton than any other team has for another quarterback. And they have resulted in 1,941 rushing yards, more than double Russell Wilsons 833. Nearly two-thirds of Newtons designed QB runs have gone between the guards, where maximum contact occurs. Newton also has taken off on more scrambles -- runs when a pass play breaks down -- than anyone but Wilson over this span. In all, Newton has been hit at least once on 533 of 575 plays that were either designed runs or meaningful scrambles in his career.Most designed QB runs, since 2011The Panthers have carved out this style in large part because Newton is really good at it. He has run for 258 first downs in his career, nearly twice as many as the next-best quarterback over that period. And at 245 pounds, he has managed to run for more than twice the amount of yards after first contact than anyone else.Most yards gained after contact among QBs, since 2011So whats the solution here? As simple as it sounds, longevity in the NFL can be associated with the number of hits a player takes. There are strategies for minimizing contact, from throwing the ball more quickly to limiting scrambles to purging designed runs. Look at the three quarterbacks who have taken the fewest hits by percentage since ESPN Stats & Information began tracking them. One retired at age 41, another retired at 40 and a third is still playing at 37.QB contact percentage ' ' '
