S Morgan Burnett out for the season

Bedard reporting on twitter that Burnett tore his ACL and is gone for the season.

Apparently, he played a few snaps even after the tear. But this is a huge blow to our depth, because despite being a rookie Burnett had been solid for the most part.

Tough loss. We currently have two healthy safties in Collins and Martin. I'm thinking we either move Bush back to safety, or perhaps go after Blackmon if we can resign him this early (recall needing to wait for 10 weeks to do so, but not sure if that is the case).

Morgan Burnett is out for the year with an ACL tear.

Not sure when it happened. (McCarthy) Thinks it happened about two series before he went out of the game.

Burnett was playing well for a rook.. they picked on him with the first Johnson TD... but some of that is expected from a Rookie..

Bigby is hopefully coming back in a couple weeks.. and Martin played solidly.. but it is a hit to our defense.. especially the communication on the back end.. we haven't seen much of an issue back there so far this season. To be fair.. we haven't played a high powered offense yet.. but it seemed better back there.

Sucks.

You make a great point, which is why I brought up Blackmon as a possible replacement.

Bedard has regarded Blackmon amongst the smartest Packers on the roster (or when he was on the roster) and you'd have to think he'd have the ability to make adjustments and delegate assignments pretty well.

Bedard also mentioned that when Blackmon got snaps at Safety in the preseason, he played good enough to compete with Burnett for the starting spot if his health was consistent.

Injuries just make me want to scream. Depth issue on the front 3 and now greater depth issues on the backend. Hoping that we have bleed enough for the season.

Gotta give Blackmon's agent a call. If he's healthy it makes sense.

That's not good news, our defense already, pardon the term... sucks. We do not have a good defense and this just makes matters worse. When you can't stop a team like the Lions from putting up the numbers they did and nobody was able to really get after the QB it's a sign of bad things to come. Hopefully they pull it together though soon because we don't face any great teams for a while
