If Green Bay is to compete for another Super Bowl ring, these players can't miss much time.
The NFL regular season, if nothing else, is a war of attrition. The way teams protect themselves against injuries often dictates their fate. Sometimes that means holding onto an extra lineman or sixth cornerback. In other instances, it doesn't matter how much a team does because a player is irreplaceable. Whatever the case, the teams that lack a backup plan when the inevitable strikes rarely raise the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the season.
While the Green Bay Packers last Super Bowl victory came during a season when the team had double-digit players on injured reserve, such injury woes rarely result in success.
