On the surface, it’s been a challenging few weeks for the Green Bay Packers’ No. 1 receiver, Allen Lazard.

While the wideout has continued to produce for the green-and-gold attack, Green Bay has lost its last three games as Aaron Rodgers continues to struggle. At that same time, Lazard is probably one of the few Packers who have been able to successfully defend the team’s honor.

Unfortunately for Green Bay and its faithful, a tough task in Buffalo against the Bills on Sunday night just got even tougher.

Lazard will likely miss the fateful matchup due to a shoulder injury. And when asked to clarify his health on Thursday, Lazard alluded to a popular breakfast/cereal snack to describe the sort of pain/discomfort he’s feeling:

LOL! Aaron Rodgers said some Packers who are making mistakes should be benched and NFL fans all made the same joke

Fun fact: Snap, Crackle, and Pop are actually the names of those Rice Krispie men.

On the bright side for Lazard, the injury doesn’t appear to be a long-term concern. But if the Packers are to get up off the mat against the heavyweight Bills, being without their No. 1 pass target hurts those chances at an upset.
