The Green Bay Packers defensive line just got weaker. Defensive end Johnny Jolly will miss Sunday's game with what's being called a significant injury.

According to a report, Johnny Jolly may miss the remainder of the 2013 season after a neck injury.

In the case of Jolly, this may be a season-ending undisclosed neck injury suffered against the Atlanta Falcons, sources told National Football Post.

Jolly has undergone a magnetic resonance imaging exam on his neck. He's expected to make a full recovery for next season, but this injury could force him to go on injured reserve to err on the side of caution.

That would be a real bummer.

He would definitely be missed.

Boyd, a fifth-round draft pick out of Mississippi State, played 32 snaps and was credited with three tackles against the Cowboys, including one for loss. He also drew a holding penalty.

“Boyd is already coming into his own anyway,” veteran defensive lineman Ryan Pickett said. “Boyd is going to be a heck of a player. He’s already starting to blossom. He’ll have more opportunity now, and we definitely need him.”


I remember in 2010 a guy named Howard green was picked up after being cut from The Jets and made enough plays to make a difference.

So how about in 2013, The Packers get the same from a rookie.
