Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy said right tackle Bryan Bulaga
TJ Lang
suffered a significant hip injury in the win over Arizona over a week ago. Monday, Bulaga was placed on injured reserve.
That means T.J. Lang will close the season at right tackle and Evan Dietrich-Smith will finish out at left guard. It also means both Don Barclay and Greg Van Roten, a pair of undrafted rookies, are an injury away from being forced to play as well.
