Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Lucas Patrick is starting Week 2 in the league’s concussion protocol.
Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed that Patrick suffered a concussion during Sunday’s Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Patrick will need to pass through the NFL’s “return to participation” protocol in time to play on Monday night against the Detroit Lions.
Patrick did not practice on Thursday, suggesting he still has a step or two to go in the protocol.
The injury happened on the Packers’ final offensive play from scrimmage.
