Report: Nick Barnett done for the season
Posted by Mike Florio on October 6, 2010 10:43 PM ET
Earlier tonight, Greg Bedard of the
Milwaukee Journal Senintel reported that Packers linebacker
Nick Barnett would miss the season
if/when he has surgery to repair a wrist injury suffered on Sunday against the Lions.
Now, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Barnett is "
out for the season." Schefter says that the injury is similar to the one that ended Bears linebacker
Brian Urlacher's season in 2009.
The news caps a bad two days for Packers fans. First, they failed to land running back
Marshawn Lynch. Then, receiver
Randy Moss returned to the Vikings, where he'll team up with
Brett Favre. Now, Barnett leaves a gaping hole in the second level of the Green Bay defense.
