Green Bay Packers rookie linebacker Quay Walker avoided a significant injury and will have a chance to play during Sunday’s home opener against the Chicago Bears.
Walker, the team’s top draft pick and a starter at linebacker, left the Packers’ Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings during the second half with a shoulder injury.
Coach Matt LaFleur said he’ll give Walker a chance to heal this week before deciding on his playing status in Week 2.
“We’ll give Quay the week, but we’re hopeful that he’ll be back and ready to roll,” LaFleur said Monday.
