In Charlotte, North Carolina, the Green Bay Packers are attempting to keep their playoff dreams alive. With a record of 6-8, the Packers need to win out and get some help elsewhere in the league to capture the final wild card spot.
However, about halfway through the game, the Packers announced some news that will undoubtedly make victory much more difficult.
The Green Bay Packers have suffered a devastating injury against the Carolina Panthers.
The Packers announced early in the third quarter that Dontayvion Wicks would be out for the rest of the game:

Wicks was hit by a Panthers defender as he tumbled into the end zone after catching a 21-yard touchdown with 49 seconds left before halftime. Wicks was visibly uneasy on the sidelines as the Packers took the field for the second half. The Packers will now be without Wicks for the rest of the day on Sunday, in addition to Watson (hamstring) and Reed (toe/chest). Four wide receivers will be available.
