Packers see 3 more key players suffer injuries against Eagles image

Packers medical staff members are earning their paychecks this preseason.

The team now has six offensive starters battling injuries ahead of its final tuneup game against the Saints on Sept. 3. After wideout Randall Cobb left with a shoulder injury in the first quarter of Saturday's preseason loss to the Eagles, starting right tackle Bryan Bulaga departed with an ankle sprain. Defensive back and special teamster Micah Hyde also left the game on a cart with what coach Mike McCarthy reportedly called a neck spasm.

Bulaga for now joins three offensive line starters on the injury report. Left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee), left guard Josh Sitton (ankle) and right guard T.J. Lang (concussion) did not suit up for Saturday's game.

Bulaga started 15 of 16 games for the Packers in 2014 and signed a four-year contract worth more than $33 million in March.

Cobb was projected to have a larger role in the offense, as the team lost Pro Bowl receiver Jordy Nelson with a season-ending knee injury last week. Cobb caught 91 passes for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2014 and signed a four-year, $40 million deal in the offseason. 

Hyde is listed as the team's primary punt returner and notched 59 tackles with two interceptions last season.
