GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Packers starting outside linebacker Frank Zombo is inactive for Sunday’s game against the New York Giants with a knee injury, leaving Green Bay very thin at the position.

Zombo will be replaced by Robert Francois.

Green Bay has struggled with injuries all season and will also be without backup linebacker Diyral Briggs (ankle). Regulars Nick Barnett, Brandon Chillar and Brady Poppinga are on injured reserve.

The Packers are also without defensive end Cullen Jenkins and backup running back James Starks.

Inactive for the Giants are wide receivers Darius Reynaud and Duke Calhoun, defensive back Will Blackmon, tight end Jake Ballard, defensive end Dave Tollefson and offensive linemen Mitch Petrus, Will Beatty and Jamon Meredith.
