"The ongoing saga of Josh Sitton's sore knee continued at Ford Field on Thursday afternoon.

The Green Bay Packers' right guard, who has been battling a knee issue most of the season and has had it affect his play, was forced to leave the Packers' 27-15 victory over the Detroit Lions in the first half after suffering what coach Mike McCarthy called a sprained knee.

McCarthy did not say whether it was the same knee that Sitton has been dealing with or if it was a case of the existing injury getting much worse. It is the first time this season Sitton has had to miss time because of an injury.

Sitton is the only player on the team to have played every snap the previous two seasons.

He did not make himself available in the locker room after the game."
