Green Bay - Packers coach Mike McCarthy came out saying he had bad news and he wasn't kidding.
S Nick Collins is out for the season with a neck injury.
Collins, who returned to Green Bay at 1 p.m., was evaluated last night in a Charlotte hospital and it was determined he should not play the rest of the season. A course of treatment, including whether to have surgery, is still being evaluated.
"Nick was in the team meeting," McCarthy said. "He told the team about it."
Asked if there were any career-ending implications, McCarthy said, "They're not far along in the evaluation process to make statements like that."
McCarthy said Collins is not in any pain.
"He has a neck brace on and he's walking around," he said. "You would never know (he's injured)."
McCarthy said when he first went to the podium for his post-game press conference, he had been told a pair of tests looked good. But later, before the team left, another test showed a problem.
I'll have more on this story as it develops.
