Notes: Injury may sit Collins
His knee is bent back during tackle
By GREG A. BEDARD and TOM SILVERSTEIN
Kansas City, Mo. - The Green Bay Packers played most of the second half of Sunday's 33-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs without starting free safety Nick Collins. And he might be missing for some time.
Collins suffered a left knee injury when he tackled receiver Samie Parker with 10:26 left in the third quarter. Collins' knee was bent back at a severe angle as he made the tackle.
While a definitive diagnosis won't be made until an MRI is done today, Collins had pain all around the side of the knee and could have a medial collateral ligament tear or some cartilage damage. Collins made no mention of the possibility it was a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury, but the scan will show the whole picture.
"My gut says I'm going to be out there next Sunday," Collins said. "That's how I'm going to go about looking at it going into the MRI."
While Collins might have been voicing words of optimism, his body language told a different story. So did the fact that he couldn't bend his knee after the game and that he needed the aid of crutches. Collins even told the trainers he knew he couldn't return to the game.
"I told them I'm done," Collins said. "I didn't want to take a risk."
With Collins out, Aaron Rouse, the team's third-round pick out of Virginia Tech, got his second action of the season on defense.
Rouse, who played a few snaps against the Minnesota Vikings at both safety spots, finished with three tackles and also made his debut as a linebacker in goal-line situations.
"Once he settled in, I thought he did a nice job," said defensive coordinator Bob Sanders.
Sanders also lost defensive tackle Corey Williams in the second half with an injury to his left knee but said he'll be back in short order.
"I could have went back in the game," said Williams, who still led the Packers in tackles (six) and tied Kabeer Gbaja-Biamilia with two sacks. "They were just being extra cautious. I got hit from the side, just kind of tweaked it a little bit. It isn't anything serious."Comment

Injury update: Collins out at least two weeks
Free safety Nick Collins will miss "at least a couple weeks" with a strained ligament in his left knee, coach Mike McCarthy said today.
Admitting coaches feared the worst when Collins' leg bent awkwardly on a tackle in Sunday's win at Kansas City, McCarthy indicated the injury is not as serious as initially believed and said Collins will not need surgery.
Rookie third-round draft pick Aaron Rouse will start in Collins' place.
"It's his opportunity," McCarthy said of Rouse. "I have no concerns about him."
* RB Ryan Grant did suffer a concussion. He'll undergo testing throughout the week to gauge the speed of his recovery.
* DT Corey Williams' right knee injury is not believed to be serious, according to McCarthy, though tests were not completed when the coach addressed the media.
* DT Ryan Pickett's knee continues to bother him, but McCarthy said he believes Pickett will be ready for Sunday's game against Minnesota.
* TE Bubba Franks (knee) still is "a couple weeks" from returning to action.
* LB Tracy White has a sprained ankle.

Thanks. I was wondering why Grant didnt finish the game at running back.Originally posted by Joemailman
I am not optimistic about Collins' injury, his knee and lower leg got twisted pretty badly as he landed on it.Always respect your opponent, even when you're kicking the crap outta him.Comment

How many people are sad to see Rouse play? Show of hands.
I'm glad Collins is not seriously hurt. And I'm glad Rouse is getting some playing time.Comment

What a wuss. Guy has no heart.Originally posted by Joemailman
Truth be told, every running back gets the snot knocked out of them. Those guys are hurt all the time.
I get ticked at the people who smugly say Wynn had no heart based on his injuries. Jackson, Grant and Morency have been just as injury prone. Its the nature of the position. In many cases where fans jump on the "so and so is a pussy" bandwagon, the player ends up having a decent career.Comment
