The Green Bay Packers have placed safety Atari Bigby on injured reserve, sidelining him for the final two games of what has been a disappointing season. Bigby, a former practice squad player who became one of the team’s most pleasant surprises last season, has been slowed by injuries for most of 2008 and has played in only seven games.

Cover a kickoff here, make a defensive play there and avoid one key penalty, and suddenly Aaron Rodgers is building his reputation as a fourth-quarter comeback artist.
