Green Bay Packers linebacker Nick Barnett is out for the season after suffering a wrist injury in a win over the Detroit Lions.
Barnett, 29, is seeking a second opinion before opting for surgery. The injury he suffered is similar to the dislocated wrist division rival Brian Urlacher of the Chicago Bears had last season.
Through four games, Barnett recorded 24 tackles, including 19 solo ones.
Barnett is just the latest casualty for the Packers. Starting running back Ryan Grant injured his ankle during the Packers season opening victory against the Philadelphia Eagles. Rookie safety Morgan Burnett tore his ACL during a loss to the Bears.
This is the second time in the last three years that Barnett has suffered a season-ending injury. In 2008, Barnett tore a ligament in his knee, missing the final seven games of the year.
