Packers’ OLB Kingsley Enagbare confirms season-ending injury

Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Kingsley Enagbare went down with an injury against the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs, but the team has not been clear on the diagnosis. Last week, Enagbare, who was talked about as a player with a season-ending injury by head coach Matt LaFleur, still remained on the Packers’ 53-man roster — rather than being placed on the injured reserve — by the time the team kicked off against the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round.

On Monday, Enagbare, who met with the press in the locker room, told the media that he did indeed have a torn ACL. That is the same injury that NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported was the Packers’ fear for the diagnosis last week.

According to Enagbare, via the Green Bay Press-Gazette’s Ryan Wood, the pass-rusher initially believed that his knee injury was a bone bruise, leading to him staying on the field for one more play before exiting the field at AT&T Stadium. Enagbare told the press,” I don’t think this is going to be too big of a setback.”
