Green Bay Packers linebacker D.J. Smith was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, ending his season after he suffered a knee injury.
Smith was hurt during Sunday's win over the previously-unbeaten Houston Texans.
The 23-year-old second-year pro had started each of the Packers' first six games, registering 42 tackles and two sacks.
