Packers' Raji Could Make Season Debut

Nov 6, 2014 2:09 AM

Green Bay tackle B.J. Raji could make his professional debut against the Rams on Sunday. The ninth overall pick in April's NFL Draft, Raji injured his ankle in the team's final exhibition game against the Titans. "It's clearly a medical decision. If he's ready, he'll play. If not, it will be another week," Packers coach Mike McCarthy told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "A lot of times when you're dealing with sprains, they go through the rehab test and they look fine. But it's different for an interior lineman when you're in there and you're pushing on two 300-pound men, or they're pushing on you. "Until I see him put his foot in the ground and turn and break and have the naturalness to his gait that he showed before, I don't think he's ready to play."
