Green Bay Packers linebacker DQ Thomas, a member of the team’s practice squad, suffered a fractured femur during Thursday’s practice.
Coach Matt LaFleur called it a “freak” injury that happened when Thomas collided knees with a teammate during a live team drill.
“DQ Thomas, unfortunately, suffered a femur fracture. Which is rare, I’ve never been around one like that before,” LaFleur said Friday. “Just the way the week started off, with what transpired in that Monday night game, and then you got a guy have one of these injuries, it’s a bad deal. From what I’ve been told, he had successful surgery, and we’re wishing him well.
