Packers LB Clay Matthews wearing visor on helmet to protect nose broken in softball game

GREEN BAY, Wis. - Someday, Clay Matthews said he'll show everyone the picture of what his nose looked like after he took a line drive off the face in a charity softball game last month.

Now that it's been fixed, all he'll say is that his nose was pointing off to the side of his face.

The byproduct, however, is that he'll have to play with a visor on his helmet facemask this season after he underwent reconstructive surgery. It was an adjustment at first but after Saturday's third practice of training camp, the Green Bay Packers' outside linebacker said he's used to it.
