GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Rashan Gary practiced for the first time as a member of the Green Bay Packers with a brace on his right shoulder and No. 52 on his jersey.
The 12th overall pick in last week's draft offered explanations for both. The Packers picked Gary with the highest selection they've had in 10 years despite his history of a shoulder injury. The defensive end/outside linebacker was injured at Michigan last season, when he played in just nine games. The Packers' medical staff, which cleared Gary during the pre-draft process, felt it would be best if he practiced Friday with a brace similar to what he wore after the injury last season.
