Veteran right tackle Mark Tauscher most likely has played his last game of the season -- and perhaps his last as a Green Bay Packer -- after suffering what coach Mike McCarthy termed a "significant" left knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans.
McCarthy did not disclose the exact nature of the injury, but he usually saves the term "significant" for injuries of the season-ending variety. Asked whether Tauscher's season is over, McCarthy said, "I would say that's probably a pretty good guess. I have not talked to them. I am just relaying the information that has been given to me."
Tauscher, whose contract expires at the end of the season, left the game after the second play of the second quarter and was taken to the locker room for X-rays. He was not in the locker room after the game.
The other injuries were to: S Nick Collins (thigh/shin; did not return from the latter injury), LB Danny Lansanah (arm; did not return); and FB Korey Hall (knee sprain; did not return).
