The Green Bay Packers were dealt another major blow on Saturday night after cornerback Kamal Hadden was carted off with a sickening leg injury.
The Packers, who were already dealing with a number of injuries in their roster, fell to a 41-24 defeat to the Baltimore Ravens after an inspired Derrick Henry performance.
The result provided a brutal reality check for Matt LaFleur’s team as they prepare to head into the playoffs, having already guaranteed a wild-card berth at minimum.
However, it’s now likely that the Packers will be without Kamal Hadden throughout the post-season after he suffered a gruesome injury on Saturday night.
During the third quarter of the game at Lambeau Field, Hadden combined with teammate Edgerrin Cooper to bring down Henry after a one-yard gain.
However, as he did so, the cornerback crumbled under the weight of his teammate and had his leg trapped underneath him as they both fell to the floor.

A cart was quickly brought onto the field and an aircast was applied to his leg.
As medical staff tended to Hadden, players from both teams were seen praying for the injured Packers star, before he was eventually carted off the field.
In proved to be a major blow for Hadden, who had subbed into the game to replace fellow cornerback Nate Hobbs, who suffered a knee injury in the first half.
With the duo both taking knocks against the Ravens, that leaves the Packers with only Carrington Valentine, Keisean Nixon, Bo Melton and Javon Bullard in the position.
The Packers were also without quarterback Jordan Love on the day, who had not yet cleared concussion protocol after a rough hit against the Chicago Bears last week.
Malik Willis, the former third-round pick out of Liberty to the Tennessee Titans, started in his place and completed 18-of-21 for 288 yards and one touchdown.
