GREEN BAY, Wis. - Green Bays defence had all it could handle the first time it faced Cam Newton.Three years after Newton had a breakout performance against Green Bay in his second NFL start, the Packers will have to try to contain the Carolina Panthers versatile quarterback without at least one key defensive player.Starting cornerback Sam Shields wont play Sunday, when the Panthers come to Green Bay for a game between division leaders.Shields, who leads Green Bay with two interceptions, sustained what coach Mike McCarthy on Friday called a knee strain in the a comeback win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.McCarthy didnt know if the injury would keep Shields sidelined more than a game.Hes getting better, though, McCarthy said.Tied for the NFC North lead, the Packers (4-2) might also be without their other starting cornerback against the NFC South-leading Panthers (3-2-1).Tramon Williams sustained an ankle injury in the last game. Like Shields, Williams didnt practice this week, but McCarthy said the team isnt counting out the veteran player from playing Sunday. Williams is questionable on the injury report.Were still going through the process, but hes better today than he was yesterday, McCarthy said. The Packers didnt practice Friday, but estimated Williams would have been a limited participant had they been on the field.I think tomorrow will be the biggest indicator, obviously with us going (back) to the practice field, McCarthy said. As I stated earlier in the week, well give Tramon Williams every opportunity all the way up to game time to play.Williams has missed only one game in his eight-year pro career.That came in Week 2 of the 2011 season, when a shoulder injury kept Williams from playing the last time Green Bay and Carolina met. Green Bay won that game at Carolina, 30-23.McCarthy referred to Williams as an old-school pro for his high rate of durability, playing in 128 of Green Bays 129 games (including playoffs) since 2007.I dont think theres any question when we got back here Monday that he was going to do everything that he could to play in this game, McCarthy said.Green Bay spent this week preparing the young tandem of Davon House and Casey Hayward to fill in at cornerback if it has to play without both Shields and Williams on Sunday.House and Hayward have played a lot in situational roles on defence this season.House has made two starts as the nickel cornerback, contributing an interception and a forced fumble. Hayward had his first interception of the season in the last game and also has a fumble recovery.That type of production when they have been called on gives defensive co-ordinator Dom Capers comfort if House and Hayward are needed for enhanced roles Sunday.I feel very fortunate, Capers said. I think the depth in our secondary is probably as good as it has been.NOTES: Packers DE Datone Jones is out for a second straight game with an ankle injury. Hes struggling laterally right now, and until he gets that back, it doesnt make sense to push it forward, McCarthy said. ... LB Jamari Lattimore is questionable Sunday after suffering a neck injury in the last game. Brad Jones, who lost his starting job to Lattimore after the first week of the season, is next on the depth chart. Oilers Jerseys 2020 .

The 2013 US Open champion has not played since finishing 19th in the Players Championship last month, missing both the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth and the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village.Its been a race against the clock really for me to be fit and ready to play here, Rose told a pre-tournament press conference on Tuesday. Rose claimed a two-shot win to win the event in 2013 Since the Players Championship, Ive really been working around the clock. Ive done everything humanly possible to be here, but theres no doubt my practice schedule has certainly been on the light side, limiting the number of balls Ive been hitting. I only started hitting the driver two or three days ago.The rough is the unknown quantity for sure. I think if Im going to get greedy out of the rough, then Im probably risking something. I think it might play into my hands to essentially take your medicine out of the rough a little bit and make par another way. Ways to watch How to follow the US Open this week Theres going to be situations this week where Im going to have to make a smart decision and that could well be a variable that I have to assess in game time because its not sometthing that Ive practised.ddddddddddddRose is one of the late starters for the opening round as he tees off alongside Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson, who finished runner-up at last weeks FedEx St Jude Classic. Im coming in fresh, which is the great news, Rose added. This golf course is going to require a huge amount of patience and I think that having that quiet time to sit back and assess my game and assess the challenge this week could be an advantage. The Englishman has posted four top-10s during 2016 Competitive edge, thats obviously a factor, and thats where Im going to hope that the freshness outweighs the competitive rust. Ive been in this situation before. In 2007, I had a little bit of a stop-start year due to a bad back and it was one of the best years of my career.I won the European money list that year, played really well in all the major championships, so Im hoping its a similar run to that.
