GREEN BAY- Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy confirmed Monday afternoon that Packers safety Nick Collins is out for the season.

McCarthy said Collins was in their team meeting and has told the team about it.

Packers Pro Bowl safety was carted off the field Sunday after making a diving attempt to tackle Panther running back Jonathan Stewart in Packers-Panthers game.

Collins' head appears to strike Stewart's thigh and bounced off the turf before he finally came to rest face down.

He spent the night in a North Carolina hospital after sustaining a head and neck injury.

CT scans were negative and Collins has all movement and feeling in all of his extremities.

Collins was a 2005 second round pick who has played in 95 of his possible 97 career games and hasn't missed a game since 2007.

That scared the poo outta me when I saw his neck buckle. I've seen Demarcus Ware do that twice. He comes back in 2 weeks though.

Collins is not as replaceable as some think. He doesn't get noticed that much because he mainly plays deep and teams don't challenge him.

I'm just glad the guy's not hurt bad... it was a freak kind of thing, but the motion of his head in relation to his body on the hit had me worried for him.

Schefter reported that Nick Collins' neck surgery prognosis was "good", but it'll be 6+ months before we know if he'll ever play football again.
