Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said the team has no long-term concerns about Clay Matthews after he suffered a broken nose in a charity softball game over the weekend.
"They're talking about scheduling surgery probably midweek," McCarthy told reporters before Monday's OTAs. "It's unfortunate. It's for a great cause. We're just glad he's OK."
Matthews was pitching when Packers offensive linemanLucas Patrick smacked a line drive and hit him in the face during Saturday's Green & Gold Charity Softball Game. He tweeted out that he would need surgery once the swelling subsides in his nose:
Clay Matthews IIIThank you for all the concern and well-wishes.
