Packers Lose Spitz For Season

Bryan Brackney by Analyst Written on November 07, 2009
Tom Silverstein of the Journal Sentinel is reporting that the Green Bay Packers have placed their starting center, Jason Spitz on injured reserve. The team promoted receiver Biren Ealy from their practice squad to fill his spot.

According to the Journal sentinel, Spitz was suffering from back spasms. Ealy was signed to the Packers practice squad last week after Jake Allen was signed to the active roster. Donald Driver, Jordy Nelson, and Brett Swain are all dinged up.

Scott Wells will likely replace Spitz at center. Spitz's contract expires at the end of the season, and this injury could hurt his position for getting a new deal signed. Ealy will likely be the Packers fourth or fifth receiver this week.
