Nick Collins a veteran on the Green Bay Packers was released
from the team on Wednesday due to a neck injury that the coaches saw to be a
health risk for the player. Collins was making a tackle at Carolina and ended
up injuring his neck so bad that it ended his career and required surgery too.
Collins hasn’t stated if he will try to play for another team, but the GM of
the Packers was definitely not comfortable putting Collins back on the field.
Ted Thompson, the GM, didn’t just give up on Collins though; he sought many
medical opinions before making the decision. Collins was in the NFL for seven
seasons all of which were played on for the Packers, so it is safe to say that
this will be a big change fore him, but he’s taking it in stride as he sent a
thank you to his fans on his twitter page.
