Report: Packers LB Jake Ryan out for season with torn ACL
Green Bay Packers linebacker Jake Ryan was carted off the practice field Monday with what appeared to be a serious injury, and the team’s fears have been realized.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday that Ryan has been diagnosed with a torn ACL, which will end his 2018 season.

Ryan, a fourth-round pick in 2015, started 12 games for the Packers last season and was expected to be a full-time starter this year. He recorded 81 total tackles and very effective against the run, so Green Bay will have a significant hole to fill going forward.
