The Green Bay Packers likely lost their preferred dime linebacker for the rest of the 2020 season.
Raven Greene, who was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday with a shoulder injury, isn’t likely to return this season, according to Bill Huber of SI.com.
Greene hurt his shoulder while attempting to tackle Jalen Reagor on a punt return against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
At the very least, Greene will have to miss three games before he’s eligible to return. The Packers have four games remaining and look headed for a playoff spot, but it’s clear his return timeline puts the rest of the season in jeopardy for one of the Packers’ key role players on defense.
