Sam Shields expected to return Week 5

Packers nickel back Sam Shields (calf), ruled out for Week 4, is expected to return Week 5 against the Redskins.

Shields unsuccessfully tested the calf on Friday in practice, and will be needed at full strength next week against QB Donovan McNabb moreso than against QB Shaun Hill in Week 4. CB Jarrett Bush is slated to replace Shields in nickel packages, while DBs Brandon Underwood and Pat Lee could also fill in.
