Outside Linebackers: Clay Matthews and Nick Perry

Clay Matthews and Nick Perry better stay healthy all season because there isn’t much depth behind them. I say that and Matthews just took a line drive off the face in the charity softball game so let’s hope he’s alright.

When healthy and at their best, Matthews and Perry can get after the quarterback like the best of them. The problem is they are hardly ever healthy together.

It’s an almost certainty that one or both of them will miss a handful of games in 2018 and force one of the backups to step up and play a significant role.
