Negative: Bryan Bulaga

It’s a broken record, but the Packers are dealing with injury problems on the offensive line.

Bryan Bulaga was lost for the season against the Lions with a torn ACL.

It is the third season-ending injury Bulaga has suffered in his career, and second ACL tear.

Green Bay nearly went an entire game without losing a key contributor to a significant injury.

When looking at the bigger picture, this could be the end of the road for Bulaga, at least in a Packers uniform.

He’s still only 28, but injuries have made him look like he’s deep into his thirties.

The Packers may choose to move on from Bulaga and pursue a more durable athlete to put at right tackle.

The Packers gave Bulaga a five-year contract worth just under $34 million in 2015.
