    Rookie tailback DeShawn Wynn, who led the Green Bay Packers in rushing over the first seven games of the season, was placed on injured reserve Tuesday and will miss the rest of the year.

    Wynn suffered a shoulder injury in Monday night's overtime victory at Denver. Although the X-rays taken during the game were inconclusive, further tests on Tuesday indicated that the injury was serious enough to sideline Wynn for an extended period.

    First-year tailback Ryan Grant, who rushed for 104 yards on 22 carries against the Broncos, will take over as the starting tailback. Grant will be the third different starting tailback this season for the Packers, whose running game statistically ranks last in the league.

    Despite its 6-1 record, Green Bay is averaging only 71.3 rushing yards per game and 3.4 yards per carry.

    The move with Wynn opened up a roster spot for Green Bay to activate wide receiver and return specialist Koren Robinson, who was reinstated by commissioner Roger Goodell on Oct. 18 following a one-year suspension for a repeat violation of the substance abuse policy.

    The Packers had a roster exemption for Robinson that was about to expire.

    A seventh-round draft pick, Wynn had carried 50 times for 203 yards and four touchdowns. The former University of Florida standout had appeared in seven games and started four. He suffered a neck injury early last week in a weightlifting incident, but recovered from that and started against the Broncos on Monday night.

    Robinson is a seventh-year veteran who entered the NFL as the first-round choice of Seattle in the 2001 draft. In stints with the Seahawks (2001-04), Minnesota (2005) and Green Bay (2006), the former North Carolina State star has appeared in 75 games. He has 242 catches for 3,603 yards and 13 touchdowns.

    In four games with the Packers in 2006, before his suspension, Robinson had seven catches for 89 yards. Robinson made the 2005 Pro Bowl squad as a kickoff return specialist with the Vikings, averaging 25.9 yards per return, with one touchdown.

    Ugh. On the bright side, it doesn't appear Wynn will threaten #4's consecutive games streak...

        Wynn was averaging 4 yards a carry. Tough blow to an already depleted corp.

                I agree with Bulldog, who gives a shit, he can't stay healthy he can't contribute, you gotta be able to count on a guy. I can't wait to find out how bad that injury actually was, or better yet that McCarthy finally got sick of dealing with this guy.

                  We have to plead for TT to draft at RB in the first round next April. No late April Fools joke and No more . . .

                  TT on any first round pick:

                  Well that GUYyyy was the Biggest and BEST GUYyyy on myyyy board.

                  That's really suckin'. So go somewhere positive and back suckin' Justin Harrell.

                    Just can't let it rest for a week (after another win), can you woodsie?

                    Maybe TT injured Wynn himself in a ploy directly tied to the plot to make Favre retire.

                        Regardless of what MM and TT have said the last two days, I think Wynn has played his last regular season game for Green Bay. I do not think he will be on the roster next season.

                        They sure gave up on him and this latest injury awful fast. They continue to carry a cornerback with a broken foot, a couple halfbacks who practice very little and very irregularly, an over-abundance of DTs including one who has been inactive most of the time and is injured and out for at least several weeks, a DE who has been injured all season and has yet to be active for game, a WR whose claim to fame is hurdling into the wedge on kick coverage, etc.

                        A "stinger" usually requires a while to see how significant it will be, yet not even 24 hours after the game they put their starting running back and leading rusher on IR. No one has said much about the injury, other than it "could be" worse than what Moll had. Yet Moll seemed to be "week to week" forever, then "day to day" until he was back.

                        Do they really know that Wynn will be out 6 weeks or more? There are 9 games left and playoffs, yet they write this guy off in less than 24 hours after the injury when guys like Blackmon, Bodiford, Harrell and others who are role players at best also were IR candidates. I could be wrong, but I think they gave up on him.

                        Just my impression.

                          My impression of Wynn is that... crap, I just sprained my wrist typing this.

                            If he starts checking with us mororns before making draft picks, I'll be right with you on the I HATE TED bandwagon.

                              I think you may be right. He made the roster in part because he couldn't stay healthy enough in the preseason for the staff to adequately evaluate him. I think he's just a guy, and an injury prone one at that.
