The Green Bay Packers have been hit with a slew of injuries this season with many key players forced to miss time because of their assorted hurts.
Despite the fact that the Packers are presently in the thick of the NFC playoff race, the team has been very conservative with their injured players thus far, keeping many of them out of games despite the players’ insistence that they are able to play.
While this course of action has been controversial at times, it has been a wise philosophy for the team with the underlying knowledge that the season is a marathon rather than a sprint and that it is most important to have their best players healthy come playoff time rather than in September and October.
