  1. Today's news.

    Mulumba will get a one-way ticket to injured reserve, which means the Packers will soon have an empty roster spot. He’ll join three other guys with torn ACLs there.

    Mulumba was primarily used on special teams this season. He had been credited with one tackle. In 2013, Mulumba made the team as an undrafted free agent and actually started three games at outside linebacker. Last year he notched 30 tackles and a sack.

    This isn’t a huge blow to the Packers, considering Mulumba’s role on defense has been more or less nonexistent in 2014.

  2. Child Warrior Andy Mulumba had to be helped off the field in the fourth quarter of the Green Bay Packers’ win over the New York Jets on Sunday.

    Mulumba hurt his knee covering a punt. On Monday, coach Mike McCarthy called that injury significant.

    And you know what that means. Another torn ACL, as this is the Year of the Torn ACL for the Green Bay Packers.

    Actually, we don’t know that it’s a torn ACL yet, but when the Packers are calling a knee injury significant, that usually means it’s one of the season-ending variety.

    So, welcome to injured reserve, Child Warrior Andy Mulumba!

    “It didn’t look good during the game, and it doesn’t sound very good,” McCarthy said.

    If/when Mulumba’s season is officially declared over, he’ll join nose tackle B.J. Raji, receiver Jared Abbrederis, tackle Don Barclay, tackle Aaron Adams, linebacker Nate Palmer and defensive tackle Khyri Thornton on injured reserve.

    Three of those guys — Abbrederis, Barclay and Adams have torn ACLs.

    The good news is Mulumba’s injury appears to be the only significant one in Sunday’s win.
