In one of the more brutal weeks in recent memory, the NFC North certainly did not escape without its fair share of serious injuries.
NFL injuries 2013, Week 7: Jermichael Finley, Jay Cutler hurt
The NFC North saw plenty of injuries over the weekend, some of the very unfortunate variety.

The Green Bay Packers suffered the scariest moment of any team this past weekend, when tight end Jermichael Finley was crunched while trying to catch a pass against the Cleveland Browns at Lambeau Field. Finley laid on the turf for several minutes before being placed on a backboard and taken to a nearby hospital.
After staying in the Intensive Care Unit, it was determined Finley suffered a spinal cord bruise. Finley has since regained full movement throughout his body, although there is no timetable for his return.
The Chicago Bears also lost two very important members of their team. Quarterback Jay Cuter tore a groin muscle in Chicago's 45-41 loss to the Washington Redskins, putting him out for at least four weeks. Linebacker Lance Briggs is also out 4-6 weeks after hurting his shoulder.
For the Detroit Lions, left tackle Riley Reiff (hamstring) and right tackle Corey Hilliard (knee) both had to leave the game against the Cincinnati Bengals at various times. It is unknown if either will miss games going forward. Cornerback Rashean Mathis also had to leave after re-aggravating a groin injury.
