Jerel Worthy - DL - Green Bay Packers
Jan. 2, 2013 - 2:00 PM ET
Packers DE Jerel Worthy (knee) has been ruled out for the postseason.
The Pack have yet to reveal the full extent of Worthy's injury, but he needed the assistance of crutches and a "full leg brace" to depart the locker room following Sunday's loss. At the very least, he's dealing with a significant strain. A second-round pick in last April's draft, Worthy notched 14 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 14 games as a rotational lineman, but graded out as one of the league's worst 3-4 ends in Pro Football Focus' ratings.
