For the Green Bay Packers, the injuries continue to mount. Cornerback Micah Hyde sat out Thursday’s practice with a groin injury, leaving the beleaguered secondary about as thin as it can get.
Hyde joins fellow cornerbacks Sam Shields (hamstring), Casey Hayward (hamstring) and James Nixon (knee) on the sidelines.
Both Shields and Hayward missed last Sunday’s game.
If the Packers go into their game with the Vikings this week with all of those guys sidelined, it’s going to be pretty interesting.
The Packers nickel package would consist of Tramon Williams, Davon House and Jarrett Bush. If one of those guys were to go down during the game, the Packers would have to get creative.
Hyde’s injury complicates the return game as well because he handles both kickoffs and punts. While Johnathan Franklin can certainly take over kick return duties — he started the year in that role — it’s uncertain who would handle punts.
The only other guys who’ve worked in that role in a game this season are Jeremy Ross, who was cut, and Randall Cobb, who’s on injured reserve.
That could mean the Packers may have risk exposing No. 1 receiver Jordy Nelson on punt returns.
As for the rest of the injury report, these guys didn’t practice on Thursday either — Nick Perry, Don Barclay, Johnny Jolly and Aaron Rodgers.
Ugh.

The last three stories on here, including this one, are all about injuries.
Im gonna go injure myself.
The packers are cursed, that’s the only explanation
or they have the worlds worst training staff I think I’m going with the latter
Fuck that. It’s that Voodoo Queen with the strong gris-gris that Favre sicced on their ass in 2008.
Well fuck me, Rachel Nichols.
Well said.
Only with a bag over her head.
Their training staff actually won an award got bring the best, true definition of irony right there
Quick, someone call Herb Adderley.
No shit. At 80, or however the fuck old he is, he could still cover better than Tramon.
Jesus. Christ. This season cannot be any more of a nightmare. Can we get a season half as lucky as this one was unlucky?
Please?
Did already. It was 2010.
And I believe we were 1st or 2nd for most players on IR that season too.
This is way, way worse.
ugh is right! I’m so sick of hearing about hamstrings and groins. Damn! broken bones galore! WTF!!! I never remember the team getting this close, regularly, to not having enough healthy players to suit up the 46. ever. THIS SUCKS!
No fear.
We still have Jerron McMillian, M.D. Jennings, Chris Banjo and Morgan Burnett to cover people if need be.
….That was a joke.
that’s pretty sad that you can list 4 players and none of them can get the job done.
Well the good news is most of the defense sucks anyway. Put an ad on Craigslist for some defenseman and it should be an upgrade. Problem solved.
This is now preseason as far as I am concerned. Looking to see if Tolzien improves and can be their developmental backup. If not; hopefully Flynn can perform ok. Want to see if Boykin can continue to be a legit starting receiver. Bostic is intriguing and I would like to see his role increase. Fuck the defense. Other than maybe 5 or 6 players they can all go fuck themselves.
rush 10 and drop one guy waaaaay back.
