The Packers sit atop the NFL’s best teams after four games, and an early bye week seems to be a roadblock for a runaway train. However, the Packers, as usual, are dealing with a litany of injuries and the bye week provides a wonderful opportunity to get healthy.

Rookie LB Kamal Martin’s strong camp had him projected as a week one starter before suffering a left knee injury that required surgery, landing him on IR.
