The presumably Super Green Bay Packers suddenly have a pocket full of Kryptonite, via a rash of injuries on their offensive line.

They’ve addressed the problem as an initial matter by placing 2011 first-round pick Derek Sherrod on injured reserve and replacing him on the roster with Herb Taylor.

Taylor entered the league as a sixth-round pick of the Chiefs in 2007, and he appeared in 18 games with one start in two seasons. But he hasn’t played in a regular-season game since 2008.

If the injuries along the Green Bay offensive line continue, that streak could soon be ending.
