Packers lose first-round pick Jordan Morgan to shoulder injury vs. Colts

A tough blow for the Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers have lost first-round pick Jordan Morgan for the season with a shoulder injury. Morgan, who was the 28th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, suffered the injury in the Packers' preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday night.

What does this mean for the Packers?

The loss of Morgan is a big blow to the Packers' pass rush. Morgan was expected to be a key contributor to the Packers' defense this season. He was drafted to replace Za'Darius Smith, who signed with the Minnesota Vikings in free agency.

Without Morgan, the Packers will likely have to rely more on Preston Smith and Rashan Gary to generate pressure on opposing quarterbacks. The Packers could also look to add a veteran pass rusher in free agency or via trade.

What's next for Morgan?

Morgan is expected to undergo surgery on his shoulder this week. He is expected to miss the entire 2022 season. The Packers will place Morgan on injured reserve once he undergoes surgery.

Morgan's injury is a reminder of the残酷 nature of the NFL. Injuries can happen at any time, and they can have a major impact on a player's career. The Packers are hoping that Morgan will be able to make a full recovery and return to the field next season.
