In the midst of their five-game losing streak last season, the Green Bay Packers suffered a big loss beyond just their standing in the win-loss column. Rashan Gary suffered a season-ending ACL injury in Week 9 against Detroit.
Up until that point in the season, Gary had been one of the more dominant pass rushers in football, with 38 pressures and six sacks through eight games. In terms of efficiency in getting after the quarterback, Gary finished the season ranked third in PFF’s pass rush productivity metric and 10th in win rate.
Just like on the field, Gary is a “tone-setter” off of it for this Packers team, as Matt LaFleur said last summer, with his high energy and relentlessness rubbing off on the entire team.
