The long-awaited return of cornerback Kevin King came Thursday for the Green Bay Packers.
King, who missed the first 11 practices of training camp while dealing with a hamstring injury, came off the non-football injury list and was in pads for the start of practice on Thursday morning, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the team’s official site.
So begins an important season for King, who returned to the Packers on a one-year deal this offseason. After more injuries and a disappointing end to his 2020 season, King will get one more shot to prove he’s worthy of a lucrative long-term deal, whether it’s in Green Bay or elsewhere.
