Packers Rookie Brandon Cisse Exits Preseason Game but Says Knee Is Minor

The second‑round rookie has been held out as a precaution and the Packers will re-evaluate him before clearing him to practice.

Overview

  • Cisse left Green Bay’s preseason win in Denver after feeling “a little something” in his knee following a double‑team block while working as a punt gunner on Friday.
  • He visited the blue medical tent, remained on the sideline riding a stationary bike and never went to the locker room, a sequence reporters said was encouraging.
  • Cisse called the issue “nothing serious” and said he does not expect to miss time, though the team described the in‑game removal as precautionary.
  • The outcome matters because Cisse was taking first‑team reps and competing for an early starting role after being the Packers’ 2026 second‑round pick.
  • The Athletic reported four other minor injuries from the game and the Packers plan more evaluations and a coach update when the team returns to practice.
