NFL news roundup: Brandon Weeden, Matt Flynn starting in Week 13

Two familiar names will be back starting for their respective teams in Week 13.

The Green Bay Packers will start Matt Flynn at quarterback in their Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky.

Aaron Rodgers is still recovering from a fractured collarbone. After Seneca Wallace went down with an injury, Scott Tolzien got his chance to start for the Packers. However, on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay turned to an old friend, Matt Flynn. Flynn replaced Tolzien and will get the start for the Packers against the Lions. This is the opportunity Flynn's been waiting for.

Here are the other big news items from Wednesday.

Lamarr Woodley unlikely to play for Steelers in Week 13
