Aaron Rodgers and the Packers have their hands full dealing with the 5-1 Buffalo Bills.

Unfortunately for Green Bay, things will only get tougher as the team finds itself without two of their starting linebackers, including an All-Pro.

The Packers' woes at the linebacker position started in the second quarter when rookie Quay Walker shoved a Bills coach on the sidelines at the end of a play.

A simple unsportsmanlike foul was initially called and it was business as usual. New York then decided to intervene, concluding Walker should be suspended for his actions on the play.

The rookie was then sent to the locker room for the remainder of the game.

Walker had a team-high 13 tackles during Green Bay's last outing. He left the Sunday night bout once again leading the team in tackles, with five in all.

Losing your team's tackle leader is never a good thing. Losing a first-team All-Pro in the middle of your defense is an even tougher pill to swallow.

On the drive following Quay Walker's ejection, Campbell suffered a knee injury that left him questionable to return.

Walker has been Green Bay's top tackler over the past two weeks. However, no Packer has accumulated more tackles during the season than De'Vondre Campbell.

In addition to his 62 total tackles this year, Campbell has broken up two passes and taken one the other way for a touchdown.

The '21 All-Pro currently has a grade of 81.3, per Pro Football Focus.

Green Bay's run defense went into Sunday night allowing the ninth-most rushing touchdowns with the 11th-most rushing yards surrendered. Without their two starting LBs, these numbers will likely continue piling up.
