Mike Pettine’s year two defense just took a major blow with Rob Demovsky reporting that Oren Burks is going to be out with a torn pectoral muscle. Typical healing time for this injury is usually 4 to 8 weeks.
Packers LB Oren Burks is believed to have a torn pectoral muscle, according to a source. More tests are scheduled to determine the course of action, but given that Burks was penciled in as a starter in the base defense, it leaves a hole in the D.

Burks was picked up by the Packers in the third round of the 2018 Draft; in the process, the fourth and fifth round picks were traded to the Carolina Panthers to obtain their third pick.
