Nick Perry on track for prominent role in Packers' defense

GREEN BAY – After Nick Perry finished last season’s two playoff games with 3½ sacks, playing probably the best football of his four-year career, only one thought was on his mind.

“All I could think about was getting to the next season,” Perry said. “When do we play next?”

Perry’s eagerness for 2016 was understandable, even if at the time he didn’t know what his future held as a pending free agent.

Given all of his injury frustrations – knee, wrist, foot, ankle, shoulder – since joining the Packers as a first-round draft pick in 2012, Perry was simply fired up to be heading into an offseason on a good note, and fully healthy.
