Guys like Nate Palmer, Carl Bradford, Joe Thomas and Jake Ryan have been receiving time at the inside line backer slot and Mike McCarthy addressed that and his concerns.

"“It’s a big opportunity for the inside linebackers,” McCarthy said. “And they need to start making more plays, frankly.”"
That being said it seems to be a smart decision to let Clay rest being that you are seeing guys struggle when filling in for him. I know we are barley into camp but if this is a re-occurring injury for Clay throughout the season we hope that depth on the team is a strong as possible. It is going to be an interesting story line for us to follow throughout the rest of August.
