Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings will miss his second consecutive game after being ruled out for Sunday's road contest against the undefeated Houston Texans.

Jennings sat out last week's loss to the Indianapolis Colts because of a groin injury he suffered on the final drive of a Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

He also missed a Week 2 win against Chicago, but returned to catch six passes for 35 yards in a controversial Monday night loss at Seattle.

The 29-year-old Jennings didn't start in a Week 4 home win over New Orleans but still had an impact as his lone reception resulted in a 9-yard touchdown.

The seven-year NFL veteran has 12 catches for 78 yards and a touchdown this season.

Safety Sean Richardson (hamstring) is also ruled out.

Defensive tackle B.J. Raji (ankle), tight ends Jermichael Finley (shoulder) and D.J. Williams (hamstring), and cornerback Davon House (shoulder) are all questionable for Sunday.

But as has been the case for most of the season, his stellar performance came in yet another loss. Matt Ryan threw four touchdown passes, and the Atlanta Falcons clinched the NFC's top seed with a 31-18 win over the Lions at Ford Field. Ryan was 25-of-32 for 279 yards and tied Steve Bartkowski for the most passing touchdowns in a single season in franchise history with 31. Bartkowski set the record in 1980.

Johnson made 11 grabs for 225 yards, upping his season total to 1,892. Rice had 1,848 yards in 1995 with San Francisco. It wasn't the only NFL record the player known as "Megatron" broke as he became the first player to record at least 100 receiving yards in eight straight games.

Matthew Stafford completed 37-of-56 passes for 443 yards with one interception for the Lions (4-11), who have lost seven in a row.
