Packers' Shields, Neal upgraded to probable vs. Lions; Montgomery doubtful

A pair of Green Bay Packers defenders are set to play Sunday against the Detroit Lions after initially being deemed questionable on Friday's injury report.

Cornerback Sam Shields and linebacker Mike Neal were each upgraded to probable as part of an official update provided by the team Saturday.

Shields was limited throughout the practice week with a shoulder issue, while a hip injury kept Neal on the sidelines for all but Friday's team session.

Meanwhile, Ty Montgomery's return from an ankle injury appears to be another week away. The rookie wideout was downgraded from questionable to doubtful.
