The Green Bay Packers are yet again a M*A*S*H unit. It's so bad that they might not have 46 players healthy enough to play on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Then again, the player that the Browns just poached from Green Bay's practice squad has a torn ACL, so those injuries extend even beyond the Packers' locker room.
It's getting ridiculous, folks. Here's the news of the day.
