Green Bay Packers right tackle Bryan Bulaga has returned for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams, and Marshall Newhouse will start in place of injured veteran left tackle Chad Clifton.

Bulaga missed the Packers' last two games with a knee injury, but was back at practice this week. Clifton injured his hamstring in last Sunday's victory at Atlanta and is out indefinitely.

Wide receiver Mike Sims-Walker and linebacker Ben Leber are inactive for St. Louis. Neither player was listed on the team's injury report this week, indicating that the moves might have been performance-related.

Sims-Walker was expected to be a key part of what has been a disappointing Rams passing game this season. He came into the game with 11 catches, second best on the team.
