GREEN BAY - The Packers depleted linebacker corps took another hit Wednesday.
Rookie linebacker Nick Perry was placed on injured-reserve due to a wrist injury. Perry reportedly had surgery on his wrist, and is out for the season.
Green Bay brought tight end Andrew Quarless off the physically-unable-to-perform list in a corresponding move. Quarless had been out since the beginning of the season with a knee injury.
Perry played in six games with five starts this season and posted 29 tackles (18 solo) and two sacks. He was the Packers first-round pick (28th overall) in the 2012 NFL draft.
The Packers also lost starting middle linebacker Desmond Bishop to a hamstring injury earlier in the season. Bishop's backup, D.J. Smith, was lost for the season due to a knee injury. Outside linebacker Clay Matthews is nursing a hamstring injury that could force him to miss the team's next game against Detroit.
