Van Ness left in the second half of Green Bay’s Week 2 matchup against Atlanta with an elbow injury. The team announced him as questionable to return. The rookie is a key linebacker for the Packers’ defense and will try to return Week 3 against the Saints if he does not return against the Falcons.

The Packers still have work to do at the desk with both wide receiver Jayden Reed and tight end Luke Musgrave yet to sign their rookie contracts, but they finally have their first round selection under contract. The selection of the Iowa product in the middle of the first round turned heads, particularly considering he appears to be mostly blocked for snaps early in the season with the team returning Preston Smith, De’Vondre Campbell, Quay Walker, and Rashan Gary.
