Packers second-rounder Brandon Cisse had to leave Friday night’s game with a knee injury, but the word from the man himself is that it’s “nothing serious.” That’s a huge sigh of relief for a young guy battling for a starting spot right out of the gate.
The Play That Almost Was a Setback
Cisse went down after feeling “a little something” following a double-team block while covering a punt in the first half. You never want to see a player, especially a rookie second-round pick, head to the medical tent for evaluation. Everyone held their breath, waiting for an update, wondering if this was the kind of early season injury that derails a rookie’s shot at making an immediate impact.
“Nothing Serious at All,” Says Cisse
But Cisse, tough as nails, never even left the sideline after his trip to the tent. He was ready to go back in. “I just got beat up a little bit,” Cisse said after the game. He made it clear there’s “nothing serious at all” and that he wanted to return, but the team played it safe. “Just being precautionary. I’m fine. Nothing to worry about. I wanted to go back in.” That’s the kind of competitor you want. It looks like this knee injury isn’t going to be some major stumbling block in his bid for a big role early in his rookie season, which is great news.
