Nick Perry, the Green Bay Packers outside linebacker who was signed this offseason to a five-year extension that, if he completes it, will probably be his final contract in the National Football League.

When he’s healthy and playing, Nick Perry is as good at pass rushing as they come in the league.

But that’s a big “when.”

You know that Perry injured his hand (again) against the Atlanta Falcons last Sunday night and was scheduled for surgery. Though it doesn’t appear to be season-ending, it’s one of those injuries that’s going to take at least a couple of weeks to heal.
