GREEN BAY, Wis. — Jordan Morgan’s first season as the Green Bay Packers’ starting left tackle won’t come without its challenges.
Not only does a gauntlet of the league’s best pass rushers await him, but he’ll have to overcome a nagging knee issue that has persisted throughout much of training camp. It’s the first hurdle in what the Packers otherwise hope to be a fruitful campaign for the former first-round pick.
The knee injury landed Morgan on the first injury report of the season on Wednesday. He was one of three members of the Packers’ preferred starting offensive line listed with a knee injury, along with left guard Aaron Banks and right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele, whose statuses for the Sept. 13 opener against the Minnesota Vikings are also in question.
