Matthews underwent knee surgery last week, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The procedure is being described as a "cleanup," but Matthews had not dealt with a knee injury this season, so it's an interesting development for the linebacker. Although there doesn't appear to be much concern as of now, Matthews' health could have an impact on his future with the organization, as he has just one year left on his current contract with the Packers.

Matthews finished the 2017 season with 44 tackles (28 solo), 8.5 sacks, and a fumble recovery over 14 games.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews finished the season strong, totaling six sacks from Week 11 onward, to finish with his most sacks since 2014. He may no longer be the threat on the edge he once was, but is likely in the Packers' plans for 2018 with one year left on his contract.

Matthews (hamstring) is active Week 17 against the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews will return after sitting out Week 16, but the veteran linebacker could still see his snaps scaled back with little on the line for the Packers in the regular season finale. Green Bay used six of their seven inactive spots on players that had already been ruled out prior to Sunday morning, so it's possible they are suiting up players at much less than 100 percent out of necessity. It's unclear if Matthews fits that bill after logging limited practices all week, but it still wouldn't be wise to hold high expectations from him as an IDP. With Nick Perry (ankle/shoulder) on IR, Matthews should see most of the double teams from the Lions.

Matthews (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews was a limited participant in practice this week after sitting out the team's Week 16 loss to the Vikings. The Packers are already eliminated from the playoffs which could lead to team to be more cautious with the veteran linebacker, which would leave Ahmad Brooks and Vince Biegel to see increased snap counts.

Matthews (hamstring) is listed as inactive for Saturday's game against the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Seeing as Matthews was kept off the practice field for the entire week and this game has little meaning for the Packers, this isn't very surprising. Matthews has racked up 7.5 sacks this season, his best since the 2014 campaign. Expect veteran Ahmad Brooks and rookie Vince Biegel to slot into an increased role Saturday.

Matthews (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Vikings, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews failed to practice all week after playing 46 of 75 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Panthers. The veteran linebacker has only missed one game this season, due to a lingering groin injury. If he is ruled out, look for Ahmad Brooks and Vince Biegel to see increased defensive reps.

The Packers listed Matthews as a non-participant in Tuesday's estimated practice report due to a hamstring issue, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Green Bay didn't announce that Matthews suffered an injury coming out of Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Panthers, but the starting linebacker played 46 of 75 defensive snaps in the contest, ceding more work than usual to backup Ahmad Brooks. It's possible the previously unreported calf issue contributed to Matthews' downturn in usage, and with the Packers now officially eliminated from playoff contention, it wouldn't be surprising if the team continued to use the veteran judiciously over the final two regular-season contests.

Matthews had seven tackles (six solo) and 2.5 sacks in Sunday's victory over the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews was back on the field after sitting out the previous week with a groin injury, and he made a significant impact on the game for the first time since Week 2. He is now up to 6.0 sacks on the season, which is one more than he recorded in 12 games in 2016.

Matthews (groin) is active Sunday against the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews will return to action after logging limited practices all week, but don't be surprised if the Packers limit his snaps more towards passing downs in an effort to ease the oft-injured veteran back into action.

Matthews (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews was a limited participant in practice this week after sitting out last Sunday's loss to the Steelers. Ahmad Brooks (back) is also listed as questionable, which could leave Kyler Fackrell and Vince Biegel with a significant amount of snaps.
