Packers safety Charles Woodson suffered a broken collarbone in the Packers' 30-20 victory over St. Louis on Sunday.

He is expected to miss about six weeks an NFL source confirmed.

Woodson played the entire game against the Rams except the final defensive series and spoke to media members after the game without revealing he had suffered any type of injury.

Woodson also suffered a broken collarbone during Super Bowl XLV and was unable to finish the game.

FOX Sports' Jay Glazer first reported the injury on Twitter. Coach Mike McCarthy will address the media at 3 p.m. and is expected to address how the Packers will deal with the loss. The Packers will undoubtedly fill Woodson's slot corner position with rookie Casey Hayward, who started against the Rams Sunday and had his fourth interception in three games. Hayward has been playing some slot corner in the dime package but now looks to be the main contender in the slot.

When the Packers are in their base defense, they will probably play either M.D. Jennings or rookie Jerron McMillian or a combination of both to fill Woodson's spot.
