GREEN BAY – It had been 33 days since Packers receiver Jared Abbrederis practiced when he returned on Tuesday to Ray Nitschke Field.
On Thursday, he’ll play in his first actual football game in 20 months.
Calling his latest setback “another obstacle,” Abbrederis can only hope he’s paid his dues on the injury front. A fifth-round draft pick out of Wisconsin last year, he tore his ACL just a few days into training camp and missed the season.
This year, fully recovered from the knee injury, he sustained a concussion on the first day of training camp and hadn’t suited up since.
