The Packers injury bug hit hard in Sunday’s loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Packers coach Mike McCarthy confirmed that RB Cedric Benson will miss Sunday night’s game in Houston with a foot injury. Other reports says that Benson could miss the next 8 weeks or the entire season if he needs surgery. That will leave James Starks, Alex Green, and Brandon Saine as the teams halfbacks. BJ Raji will be in a boot this week as he rehabs his injured ankle. TE Jerimichael Finley will also rehab a shoulder injury. Both those guys status for Sunday night will be determined later this week.
Next week’s Packer opponent Houston improved to 5-0 on the season with a 23-17 win over the NY Jets on Monday Night Football. Arian Foster ran for 152 yards and a TD in the win. Linebacker Brian Cushing went down with a knee injury and could miss Sunday’s game with Green Bay.
