The Green Bay Packers will head into their NFL preseason opener without first-round draft pick Jordan Morgan, who is sidelined with a shoulder injury. Head coach Matt LaFleur announced during a press conference on Wednesday that the offensive lineman will not play in Saturday’s game against the Cleveland Browns.
Morgan, who was a standout left tackle at Arizona and recently transitioned to starting right guard for the Packers, sustained the injury during Tuesday’s practice. “It’s nothing long-term,” LaFleur reassured, “but he’s going to be out probably for a week or so.” This timeline rules him out for the preseason debut but suggests a potential return for the regular season.
