Who is the Packers’ biggest Jenga piece for 2017?

The Green Bay Packers are no stranger to losing big players to injury over the last few years. In 2013, Aaron Rodgers missed half a season with a broken collarbone while Randall Cobb was out much of the year due to a broken leg. In 2015, Jordy Nelson tore his ACL in the preseason, while cornerback Sam Shields went down with a concussion in week one last season, never returning to the field.

Each of those injuries can be compared to a game of Jenga. Rodgers, Nelson, and Shields all were pieces that, when removed, caused a cascade that took down huge portions of the team and caused major problems during their absence.
