Packers Lose RT Billy Turner For Game, Possibly Longer With Knee Injury

Billy Turner, the Packers starting right tackle, injured his left knee in the Sunday night game against the Bears and has been ruled out. By video, Turner was rolled up on by a Bears defender while pass blocking and appeared to suffer a significant MCL sprain. Turner walked off the field under his own power, but could be facing a multi-week absence depending on the severity. Dennis Kelly will serve as right tackle for the remainder of the game.

The Packers also have issues at left tackle, with David Bakhtiari struggling to return from his knee surgery last season and backup Elgton Jenkins out for the year with a torn ACL. Starting center Josh Myers is also out for an extended period after undergoing knee surgery.
