The Green Bay Packers should give linebacker Clay Matthews a few carries at running back, as injuries continue to mount in the team's backfield.
Clay played running back as a freshman in high school. Put him in.

The Packers were forced to turn to receivers Ty Montgomery and Randall Cobb in Thursday's win over the Chicago Bears after Eddie Lacy was placed on injured reserve. To make matter worse, interim starter Don Jackson left the game with a hamstring injury.
It's unlikely the Packers would be forced to turn to Matthews, but it's good to have options.
