GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Packers defensive end Mike Neal injured his left knee during a non-contact drill early in Tuesday’s practice.
Coach Mike McCarthy says Neal will have an MRI and other tests done on the knee.
“The way Mike fell – I saw it from the special teams drill – just the reaction from everybody makes you nervous,” McCarthy said. “As far as the position, the defensive line, you have healthy competition. We were expecting big things from Mike as a contributor this year. I don’t want to see any of those guys get hurt, especially both sides of the line.”
Neal was expected to help replace Cullen Jenkins at defensive end. After practice, he said on Twitter: “I’m A-OK.”
