Packers T Bryan Bulaga placed on IR

GREEN BAY - Packers offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga is the latest player lost for the season.

Bulaga succumbed to a hip injury, according to a release by the team on Monday.  He had started the first nine games of the season for the Packers at right tackle.

Normal left guard T.J. Lang will slide over to the right tackle spot in Bulaga's absence.  Reserve lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith will take Lang's place at left guard.

"I've played next to Teej and Dietrich has played a bunch of snaps, so we're not real worried about it," said right guard Josh Sitton.  Dietrich-Smith has seen time at center and guard in his NFL career.  "You have to make sure the offense is playing up to its capability," Dietrich-Smith said.  "You got to be a part of that out there, you can't be a problem."

In a corresponding move, Green Bay re-signed linebacker Vic So'oto.  So'oto played in seven games for the Packers in 2011 and played in four contests for the Oakland Raiders this season before being let go.
