On Sunday night against the Detroit Lions, however, the unit suffered a series of additional blows. Quinten Rollins left the game strapped to a board to go to the hospital after a scary-looking hit to his head/neck; per Mike McCarthy, he avoided serious injury but there's no word on whether he'll be able to go on Sunday against the Giants. Both Damarious Randall and Makinton Dorleant left the game with knee injuries, Randall is considered day-to-day, while Dorleant said initial tests showed no major structural damage.  It's been a rough road for the Packers secondary, which has been hampered by injuries all season. The team has needed leaders and playmakers to step up from within its ranks in its postseason push, and a key weapon who could be instrumental in the playoffs became clear in Week 17: defensive back Micah Hyde. 

Calvin Pryor was supposed to be the hard-hitting downhill prospect. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix was second-best , just a cover guy who would struggle to start his rookie year. Halfway through the season, its pretty clear which safety is coming out on top.

According to Mike McCarthy, the safety has had "a helluva training camp" with the Packers thus far in 2014.

Packers general manager Ted Thompson ignored all avenues to add depth at safety in 2013, be it the NFL draft, undrafted free agency or veteran free agency.

The veteran Packers safety did not practice on Thursday as Green Bay prepares to face Cincinnati this weekend.

The Packers safety is looking to put an early season hamstring injury behind him so he can take part in Green Bay's home opener on Sunday against Washington.

Once Casey Hayward and Tramon Williams are back to 100 percent, Hyde's quickest path to playing time may be at safety.

In our worst-case scenario, Mason Crosby bottoms out. He can't seem to hit the broad side of a barn with his kicks and is eventually cut.

In our best-case scenario, Morgan Burnett grabs at least five interceptions in 2013 and is named to the first Pro Bowl of his career.

Railbird Central is joined by Marques Eversoll of AllGreenBayPackers.com to discuss Packers safeties, including a possible Morgan Burnett contract extension.

There's very little depth at safety in Green Bay, and beyond Morgan Burnett, there's not much experience either. As little as one injury at the position could be costly.
