Injury Update! Bad News For The Packers

...and for me and my BIG bet of the week. Mike Sherman announced today the Corner Backs Mike McKenzie and Ahmad Carroll will NOT be playing in todays game against The Colts. Additionally CB Michael Hawthorne will be playing injured.
Hawthorne and Carroll collided trying to break up a pass in practice on Friday, causing the Sidelining of the esteemed rookie Carroll, while McKenzie tweaked his hamy during said practice.
The loss of McKenzie may not be as disastrous as the loss of Carroll and the injury of Hawthorne in this bettor's opinion. They started their first two without him due to his holdout, but the loss of Carroll and the injury to Hawthorne is. Even without McKenzie they have stood middle of the pack against the pass (15th) but that was with Carroll and a healthy Hawthorne.
Does this mean they get crushed? I still don't think so, but it does make the Over (48.5) maybe a little bit more tasty. I'm not making the bet however, and if you have not yet laid money on the Packers, and were thinking about it, re-think it.

Starting Sunday off the wrong way...
