And, guess what, the Packers LEAD the NFL in injuries!!! Check out the Yahoo Sports article:
Despite starting the season 6-0, Green Bay hasn’t had a lot of luck this season.
According to NFL Nation, they are currently the most injured team in the NFL with starters or key special-teams players missing a total of 78 games. The worst of these occurred in August, when Jordy Nelson blew out his knee in a pre-season game.
In addition, key contributors like Bryan Bulaga, Morgan Burnett and BJ Raji have also missed parts of the first six games.
Packers fans are acutely aware of the injury difficulties they suffered in 2010 when 15 players ended up on injured reserve. A total of 31 players missed 206 games that season. Nevertheless, as the sixth seed in the NFC, they went on to win the Super Bowl.
The least injured teams up to this point in the season have been the surprising Jets and the disappointing Seahawks. Both have lost only a total of six games to injury.
