GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It was no surprise that Bryan Bulaga was placed on the physically unable to perform list to start training camp, given that he ripped up his knee late last season.
But it came as both a shock and a boost to the Green Bay Packers that coach Mike McCarthy said before Thursday's first training camp practice that his starting right tackle should be ready for the regular-season opener.
Bulaga tore the ACL in his right knee on Nov. 6 against the Detroit Lions and missed the entire offseason program.
