GREEN BAY - He broke his sesamoid bone in college and didn’t miss a game. His college coach begged, pleaded with him to take one drive, at least a few snaps, off.
Josh Myers refused.
The Green Bay Packers rookie center’s toughness is unquestioned. So when Myers hobbled off the field in Chicago midway through October and didn’t return until last week’s game at Detroit, missing 10 games in between, it was clear he had a significant injury.
Myers wouldn’t divulge any details of the injury that cost him more than half of his rookie season, but he said his knee felt good after playing 32 snaps against the Lions.
