The Green Bay Packers have lost their starting left tackle for the season. Tackle Bryan Bulaga suffered a torn ACL during practice and will have to chill out on the bench for a while.

Bulaga is a beast of a man though. He was able to complete practice with that busted knee and didn’t miss a rep. After it was all said and done, he complained about some pain in his knee. Turns out that pain was a torn ACL.

Dude is a BEAST. Usually players go down with that injury and have to leave the field on a cart. Bulaga just walks off and wonders why the heck there is a tickle in his knee. That is an offensive lineman for you.

The Packers were hoping to improve their offensive line for Aaron Rodgers this season. Losing their starting left tackle will not help the situation.

The starting gig is now up for grabs for the next man up to take. The Packers could move Marshall Newhouse back over to the left side, he was the starter at that position last season. They could also move Don Barclay over to the left side. They have some options that they will have to weigh.

Tough loss for the Packers.
