Packers OL Bryan Bulaga Already Back at Practice Following Knee Injury

The Green Bay Packers are back to work after a disappointing 37-8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, and nobody epitomizes their resilience more than right tackle Bryan Bulaga.

After suffering a knee injury in Sunday night's matchup, Bulaga is back on the practice field like nothing happened.

Bulaga suffered an injury in his right knee in the first quarter on Sunday and, despite previous reports indicating worse news, he returned to the practice field Thursday despite fears he'd have to miss time.

Bulaga took part in the pre-practice drills, typically meaning he would participate in the 11-on-11 matchups. The media was unable to witness the team portion of practice, though Bulaga showed a good sign by warming up with the first-team unit.

Reports originally claimed Bulaga did not re-injure the ACL he tore in 2017, but that he could still miss a few games due to an MCL sprain. The Packers had make a couple of big moves signifying Bulaga would be out for an extended period of time; the team promoted tackle Yosh Nijman from the practice squad this week, signed tackle Cody Conway onto the practice squad to replace him, and even claimed formerly retired tackle Jared Veldheer off waivers from the New England Patriots. (Speaking of which, reports also say Veldheer will take a physical in Green Bay Friday.)

Fortunately, the latest news was rosier. Bulaga is back.
