The issue is whether or not he can stay on the field. There’s a reason why the Packers just signed cornerback Derrick Jones off waivers, and it’s because general manager Brian Gutekunst needs some assurances.
Thanks to the hamstring injury King suffered during Family Night, he has been held out of practice. Gutekunst tried to reassure everyone that he was “not too concerned” about the injury, but if that’s the case, he wouldn’t have signed the virtual unknown in Jones — a sixth round pick in 2017.
King’s injury history is quite detailed. As a rookie in 2017, he suffered a concussion and a shoulder injury that ended up being a torn labrum in his left shoulder.
