Green Bay Packers fans believe injuries have been the biggest issue with the team over the last few years. And while injuries are a common thing in the NFL, Packers fans are not wrong for saying it.

ESPN has ranked the top teams who have been impacted by injuries the most this season and the Packers come in at No. 1. And the reason for them being the top team is obvious as they lost Aaron Rodgers six weeks ago to a broken collarbone.

Here's a look at what Kevin Seifert of ESPN had to say about the Packers.

With Rodgers in those first five games, the Packers averaged 27.4 points. They've averaged 13.5 points per game ever since. Injuries elsewhere -- at running back, offensive line and in the secondary especially -- have mitigated attempts to adjust. But if Rodgers hadn't been injured, is there any question that they would be in the thick of the playoff discussion?

The Packers have lost their last two games and they will try to save their season on Sunday when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Make sure you’re in the loop – take five seconds to Sign up for our FREE Packers newsletter now!

Rodgers being out has hurt the Packers on so many levels, but the team also lost their starting right tackle for the season, their top two running backs for multiple games and the starting cornerbacks have been in and out of the lineup this season with injuries. The good news is the Packers have a chance to get Rodgers back in Week 15 when they face the Carolina Panthers. However, if the Packers don't get back on the winning track soon. Rodgers possible return will be too little, too late.
