GREEN BAY – On the surface, Corey Linsley looked like his normal, reliable self during the final 12 games of the 2016 season.
The Packers center shook off an offseason hamstring injury – which forced him to start the year on the physically unable to perform list – to help fortify the offensive line during Green Bay’s run to the NFC Championship Game.
By the end of the year, however, Linsley had a feeling he’d probably require ankle surgery, a notion that was later confirmed after meeting with Dr. Robert Anderson, a renowned foot and ankle specialist in Charlotte.
