Packers’ Blake Martinez will miss “multiple games,” per report

The Green Bay Packers’ defense keeps getting thinner and thinner. Last week at Tennessee, inside linebacker Jake Ryan went down with an ankle injury on the second special-teams snap of the game and did not return. On Sunday night in Washington, cornerback Demetri Goodson saw his knee practically explode during a punt return, likely resulting in a few torn knee ligaments.

Then later in the game, the Packers’ other starting linebacker, rookie Blake Martinez, suffered a knee injury and did not return. Reports have now surfaced on Tuesday that Martinez’ injury is an MCL sprain that will keep him out a while:
