Kevin King Injury: Packers CB Ruled Out for Week 11 vs. Titans
King Suffers Knee Injury in Packers' Win Over Raiders
Green Bay Packers cornerback Kevin King will not play in Week 11 against the Tennessee Titans due to a knee injury. King suffered the injury in the Packers' 42-21 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. He was carted off the field in the second half and did not return.
The Packers have not released any details on the severity of King's injury, but he is expected to miss multiple weeks. This is a significant blow to the Packers' defense, as King is one of their top cornerbacks.
Packers Defense to Face Tough Test vs. Titans
The Packers' defense will be without King when they face the Titans in Week 11. The Titans have one of the most dynamic offenses in the NFL, led by quarterback Ryan Tannehill and running back Derrick Henry. The Titans are averaging 30.5 points per game this season, which is tied for fourth in the NFL.
The Packers will need to find a way to slow down the Titans' offense without King in the lineup. Rookie cornerback Eric Stokes is expected to start in place of King. Stokes has played well in limited action this season, but he will be facing a much tougher test against the Titans.
King's Injury Could Hurt Packers' Playoff Hopes
The Packers are currently 8-2 and in first place in the NFC North. However, they have a tough schedule down the stretch, including games against the Titans, Minnesota Vikings, Baltimore Ravens, and Cleveland Browns. The Packers will need to be at their best to make the playoffs, and King's injury could make that more difficult.
The Packers are hoping that King's injury is not serious and that he can return soon. However, if he is out for an extended period of time, it could have a major impact on the Packers' playoff hopes.
