The Packers could be looking at another shuffle up front. Center Sean Rhyan is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday’s loss to the Lions, according to NFL Media. X-rays were negative, with an MRI scheduled for today to determine the extent of the injury. A high-ankle sprain can mean a four-to-six-week absence, though Rhyan’s timetable remains uncertain pending further evaluation.
The encouraging part? John Williams came off the bench and played well. Getting thrown into the middle of a divisional game on the road is a considerable assignment for any reserve offensive lineman, particularly at center.
For an offensive line that has already dealt with plenty of disruption this season, losing Rhyan for an extended stretch would be another frustrating setback. But Williams’ performance was at least encouraging.
