Green Bay Packers running back Ryan Grant will require surgery to correct a torn ligament in his ankle that will leave him on crutches for 10-12 weeks, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Grant is likely to fly to New York to visit a doctor for a second opinion. Foxsports.com reported that Grant will be put on injured reserve, ending his season.
This really hurts the Packers as they are one of the few teams in the NFL that really only use 1 back. Brandon Jackson is really going to have to step up, and Rodgers is going to have to throw this offense on his back once again if they want to have any shot at living up to expectations. Grant is going for a 2nd opinion, but I doubt anything will change. Just another team that was hyped before the season losing a very key player.
