Kamal Hadden to Nate Hobbs: Packers lose 5 players to injuries vs Ravens; Matt LaFleur concerned
The Green Bay Packers took multiple hits during Saturday's game against the Baltimore Ravens
The Green Bay Packers took multiple hits during Saturday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Matt LaFleur and co lost at least five key contributors before the game even reached the fourth quarter.
What began as a tough night on special teams and defense quickly escalated. Safety Zayne Anderson exited with an ankle injury and was carted to the locker room, where he was ruled out shortly after. Not long after, defensive tackle Jordon Riley went down with what team officials described as an Achilles injury and was also carted off before being declared out for the remainder of the contest.
The attrition continued coming out of halftime. Wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks was sidelined with a concussion diagnosis, while cornerback Nate Hobbs was ruled out after injuring his knee on a collision in the end zone late in the first half.
Moments later, the Packers’ depth took another hit on the opening defensive series of the third quarter. Cornerback Kamal Hadden was injured while attempting to stop a Derrick Henry run, required a cart to leave the field, and was quickly ruled out with an ankle injury.
All of this comes on top of an already strained roster. Green Bay entered Week 17 missing several key players on injured reserve, including Micah Parsons, Devonte Wyatt, Elgton Jenkins, Tucker Kraft, Nick Niemann, John FitzPatrick and Kristian Welch. Quarterback Jordan Love was also unavailable as he remains in concussion protocol following last week’s game in Chicago.
