GREEN BAY, Wis. -- With the Green Bay Packers off to a 6-0 start, there already have been comparisons to the 2011 team -- the one that started 13-0 and finished 15-1.
But this season more closely resembles 2010 in one significant regard: The Packers have been hit by a rash of injuries.
The 2010 team won the Super Bowl despite finishing with 15 players on injured reserve.
More than one-third of the way through this season, the Packers have six players on injured reserve, including one -- tight end Andrew Quarless -- on the IR-designated to return list (something that did not exist in 2010).
