GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers’ outside linebacker corps continues to take a beating.
First, it was Za’Darius Smith’s back injury, which kept him out of most of training camp and ultimately required surgery.
Next, it was Randy Ramsey, who suffered a season-ending ankle injury during training camp.
Then it was Chauncey Rivers, who suffered a torn ACL at practice in early October.
All those injuries necessitated the signing of veteran Whitney Mercilus on Oct. 20. Cast aside by the Houston Texans, showed he had plenty of life in his 31-year-old legs.
However, Mercilus suffered a torn biceps while trying to sack Seattle’s Russell Wilson on Sunday, according to ESPN.
