Packers' Geronimo Allison has 'pretty big injury'; Kevin King unlikely to play
Wide receiver Geronimo Allison likely will need surgery, and cornerback Kevin King isn't likely to play Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.
That's the outlook a day after the Green Bay Packers lost their second straight road game and fell to 3-4-1 at the halfway point of their season.china nike nfl jerseys cheap
Allison did not play in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the New England Patriots after he suffered a groin injury in practice Thursday. The third-year receiver was in Philadelphia on Monday to visit Dr. William Meyers, a core-muscle specialist who has operated on Packers players with groin and sports hernia injuries in the past.
"We'll work through the final prognosis, but it's a pretty big injury," coach Mike McCarthy said.
Allison could miss more than a month. Rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling took Allison's spot as the No. 3 receiver on Sunday and caught three passes for 101 yards -- his second 100-yard game in his past three outings.cheap nike nfl jerseys paypal
The Packers made several adjustments in the secondary against the Patriots. They started the game with cornerback Tramon Williams at safety in place of Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, who was traded to the Washington Redskins last week. Bashaud Breeland started at cornerback in his first game action since the Packers signed him in December. King started at the other corner spot, and rookie Jaire Alexander played in the slot. Fellow rookie Josh Jackson played 41 of the 71 defensive snaps, most of them after King dropped out 24 snaps into the game. The Packers also finished the game without safety Kentrell Brice, who left with a knee injury.
The Packers on Monday added a safety, former fourth-round pick Ibraheim Campbell, off waivers from the Jets. Campbell played for Packers defensive coordinator Mike Pettine during the 2015 season with the Cleveland Browns.
He took punter Drew Kaser's roster spot. Kaser was signed on Saturday as an emergency in case JK Scott's wife went into labor and he had to leave New England. He would have done so with the blessings of McCarthy and general manager Brian Gutekunst, who had a plane waiting to take Scott back to Green Bay if needed. Kaser instead was inactive.
