Packers: Oren Burks suffers torn pectoral muscle, per report

Burks left the Packers‘ preseason opener in the first quarter due to an injury and missed Saturday’s practice.

It was initially reported that Burks was out with a chest injury, but Rob Demovsky of ESPN has reported that it is believed Burks has a torn pectoral muscle. Demovsky also noted that the Packers have more tests scheduled.

If the injury is indeed a torn pectoral muscle, that is bad news for both Burks and the Packers, and one has to imagine it would keep him out of action for a significant amount of time.
