Wilkerson lost for the season

Muhammad Wilkerson

Green Bay Packers defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson was carted off the field and taken by ambulance to a hospital in Washington D.C. on Sunday.  Wilkerson remained there overnight into Monday because he needed a procedure that would allow him to return to Green Bay.

Wilkerson suffered a significant ankle injury and will be lost for the season.

Former Northwestern Wildcat Dean Lowry took his place and played a total of 24 snaps in the loss to the Redskins.  Lowry and Montravius Adams will continue to fill the shoes of Wilkerson, which won’t be easy.

Wilkerson came to Green Bay on a one-year deal, hoping to play well to get a bigger contract moving forward.

 

Bulaga still sidelined by ankle injury

Bryan Bulaga

The Green Bay Packers returned to the practice field on Monday and will take Tuesday off.  The players returned from their weekend off in pretty good shape.

The only previously injured player that didn’t practice was right tackle Bryan Bulaga, who is still recovering from a sprained right ankle.  Coach Mike McCarthy did say last week that he didn’t have any major concern regarding Bulaga’s availability for the season opener against Seattle this Sunday at Lambeau Field.

Rookie defensive tackle Montravius Adams returned for the first time since undergoing foot surgery the first week of training camp.  Adams took part in individual drills but not team drills and it’s expected to be weeks before he’s ready to play in a game.

Also back on the practice field Monday were linebackers Nick Perry and Clay Matthews, offensive lineman Lucas Patrick and safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix.

Rookie Kevin King is the latest to be sidelined by injury

Kevin King

The Green Bay Packers now have three of their first four draft picks sidelined in training camp by injury.  Top overall pick Kevin King sustained a shoulder injury and didn’t participate in Tuesday’s practice.

The 33rd overall pick in the draft had been working in practice with the number-one defense.  He was selected to help a pass defense which finished 31st in the league last season.

King joins 3rd round pick Montravius Adams had foot surgery on Tuesday to repair a stress fracture.  Fourth round pick Vince Biegel (Wisconsin) started training camp on the P.U.P. list after undergoing foot surgery in the offseason.

Without King, Quinten Rollins teamed with Davon House as the two corners in the base defense on Tuesday while Damarious Randall was anchored in the slot.

The Packers used their top four draft picks on defense and only second-round selection Josh Jones was on the practice field on Tuesday.  He’s off to a great start in training camp, continuing to make impact plays on a daily basis.

 

Packers lose rookie Adams for a few weeks with “foot injury”

By

Montravius Adams

The Green Bay Packers lost rookie defensive lineman Montravius Adams for “multiple weeks” of the preseason with a foot injury.  The announcement came Monday morning from coach Mike McCarthy.

The third-round pick from Auburn was expected to compete for playing time on the defensive line.  He left practice on Friday, the second of two non-padded workouts to start training camp and has yet to work in pads.

Adams joins former Badger Vince Biegel, a fourth-round pick, on the sideline.  Biegel had foot surgery in May on his right foot and started training camp on the P.U.P. list.  Because Adams practiced the first two days of training camp, so he isn’t eligible for P.U.P.

It’s a tough blow for Adams, who will miss critical practice and development time.

Vince Biegel

Former Wisconsin Badger Vince Biegel became the eighth pick of the Green Bay Packers 2017 draft class to sign a contract on Wednesday.

Biegel has been sidelined since the end of the teams rookie minicamp after undergoing foot surgery.  Biegel had the same kind of surgery and missed two games while playing with the Badgers last season.  He’s expected to be ready to go for the start of training camp.

Only two Packers draft selections remain unsigned, third round defensive lineman Montravius Adams and fourth round running back Jamaal Williams.
