Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur confirmed a shoulder injury for safety Dallin Leavitt and provided an ominous timeline for his return when asked before practice on Sunday.
Per LaFleur, Leavitt is expected to be out “a while” after he left Friday’s preseason opener against the 49ers with a shoulder injury.
Leavitt, who was signed with the Packers on July 25, was injured while making a tackle late in the first half. He was down on the field for some time in visible pain while trainers attended to his injury.
It’s unclear what specific shoulder injury Leavitt suffered.
