The depth of the Green Bay Packers defense is already being tested in Week 1. Linebacker Quay Walker, cornerback Keisean Nixon and linebacker Krys Barnes all exited Sunday’s game with injuries in the second half.
Walker and Nixon both have shoulder injuries and are questionable to return, while Barnes suffered a significant lower-leg injury that required an air cast to stabilize.
The Packers identified Barnes’ injury as an ankle, and he’s already been ruled out.
Walker, the Packers’ first-round pick, made eight tackles in his regular season debut.
Nixon was injured making a third-down tackle and appeared to be in significant pain.
