The Packers announced that starting OLB Erik Walden has been deactivated for Sunday’s Super Bowl against the Steelers.

Walden had been listed as questionable after being limited in practice all week because of an ankle injury he suffered in the NFC Championship Game two weeks ago. Frank Zombo, who recovered from a Week 14 knee injury, is expected to start in Walden’s place.

There were no other major surprises for either team on the inactives list:

Packers inactives:
Graham Harrell (No. 3 QB)
RB Dimitri Nance
CB Brandon Underwood
CB Josh Gordy
FB Quinn Johnson

LB Erik Walden

Steelers inactives:
