An unfortunate injury will likely rob Kamal Martin of the start of his 2020 season, but the Green Bay Packers are still confident the rookie linebacker has a bright future ahead of him.
Martin, the Packers’ fifth-round pick, saw his standout training camp derailed by a knee injury suffered during the team’s scrimmage at Lambeau Field on Sunday. According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN, Martin needs surgery to fix a torn meniscus and could miss six or more weeks.
Despite being a rookie, there was a chance Martin could have started at linebacker for the Packers in Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings.
