The Green Bay Packers lost their third-round draft pick, TE Josiah Deguara to a season-ending knee injury in Monday’s 30-16 win over the Atlanta Falcons at Lambeau Field.

Deguara was hurt while blocking on a punt and had already missed the two previous games with an ankle injury.

“Unfortunately, it looks to be a pretty bad one,” coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday, “So, you know, I hurt for Josiah. I love what he’s all about, the mentality he brings and he’s certainly somebody we were really excited about. And it’s been a little bit of a roller coaster because in terms of I thought he had a great game vs. Minnesota in Week 1, and then he goes out with an ankle injury, you know; it’s just been, it’s been tough. But we expect him to bounce back from it and we still think he has a really bright future in this league.” [Read more…]

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard had a career game last Sunday night (6 receptions for 146 yards and a touchdown). He played the entire game and there was no indication afterwards in speaking with reporters that he had suffered an injury. Yet, as ESPN first reported, Lazard underwent core muscle surgery and is out indefinitely. The team listed him on their injury report Thursday with a core muscle injury.

Fellow receiver Davante Adams practiced on Thursday. He said afterwards that he still doesn’t know if he’ll be available to play on Monday night against the Atlanta Falcons.

At the moment, the Packers have three other receivers on their active roster. Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Darrius Shepherd and Malik Taylor. Shepherd was signed off the practice squad last week. [Read more…]
