DETROIT – The Packers locked down the left side of their offensive line for the foreseeable future when they reached a contract extension with center Corey Linsley on the eve of Sunday’s finale against the Detroit Lions.
The former fifth-round pick has started all 54 regular-season games he’s played in since 2014, though hamstring and ankle injuries caused Linsley to miss 10 contests between 2015 and 2016.
While he missed the entire offseason program due to his rehab from ankle surgery, Linsley returned for the start of training camp and was the only Packers offensive lineman to not miss a snap this season.
