Green Bay — Injury epidemics aren't new to the Green Bay Packers, but the way they're brushing them off is.
Go back almost 12 months and consider what happened when safety Morgan Burnett sat out the New Orleans game with a calf injury.
With the defensive quarterback on the sideline and a pair of guys with limited NFL safety experience left to anchor the secondary, the New Orleans Saints piled up 495 yards and 44 points.
Burnett's absence wasn't the only reason the Packers got rolled in that game, but there was a domino effect that weakened the safety and nickel corner positions.
