Green Bay Packers linebacker Nick Barnett suffered a broken hand in Sunday's 35-0 loss to the New England Patriots.

Barnett may not miss any time with the injury.  He could wear a padded cast and continue to play.  That cast would effect his play, but not so severe that would force him to miss any time. 

If Barnett does play Monday night at Seattle, he may have to come out on passing downs.  The Packers may want to have a player on the field in those situations that will be better able to defend the pass and be able to catch the ball.
