Cisse Injury Scare and Preseason Wisdom | Green Bay Packers News

Rookie cornerback Brandon Cisse nearly derailed the Packers’ season with a scary knee injury during preseason — but he walked off fine, dodging a bullet. Already poised to be Green Bay’s top CB ahead of Nixon and Valentine, losing him — especially on a special teams play — would’ve been devastating. Coach LaFleur needs to wake up: Cisse shouldn’t be on special teams at all, and it’s time to bench him for the rest of preseason. With starters getting reps in joint practices instead of full-game risks, this is a smart move to protect key players — just like they did with Jordan Love’s thumb injury. Cisse’s scare is a reminder: sometimes, resting before the season starts is the best way to win it. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
