Dare we say aloud that this could be a favorable year, health-wise, for the Green Bay Packers? It’s early, but so far the Packers have largely avoided serious injuries.
In the broad scheme of things, i.e. pursuing a Super Bowl win, minor injuries that keep one off the field for only a week or so, are a mere annoyance. It’s the injuries that put players on injured reserve that threaten a Super Bowl drive.
Going into Saturday’s game, the Packers’ injury list looked like this: Jay Elliott (back), Derrick Matthews (concussion), William Stanbeck (hamstring), Dean Lowry (knee), Jordan Tripp (concussion), Jermaine Whitehead (hip), Davon House (hamstring), Montravious Adams (foot), Bryan Bulaga (ankle) and Jake Ryan (shoulder).
