Kevin King Injury: Packers Star Ruled Out For Week 11
Green Bay Packers Star Cornerback To Miss Saints Clash
King Injured In Loss To Washington Commanders
Green Bay Packers cornerback Kevin King is officially out for the team's Week 11 clash against the New Orleans Saints. King suffered a quad injury in the Packers' Week 10 loss to the Washington Commanders and did not return to the game. Head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed King's injury status on Monday.
The Packers are already thin at cornerback, so King's absence will be a significant blow to the team's secondary. Rasul Douglas is expected to start in King's place, with Keisean Nixon and Shemar Jean-Charles also likely to see increased playing time.
King has been a key part of the Packers' defense this season, starting all nine games and recording two interceptions. He is a physical and athletic cornerback who can make plays on the ball. His absence will be a challenge for the Packers, who are already struggling to generate pressure on the quarterback.
The Packers will need to find a way to replace King's production against the Saints, who have a high-powered offense led by quarterback Jameis Winston and wide receiver Michael Thomas. The Packers will also need to be able to generate pressure on Winston without King on the field.
The Packers are still in the playoff hunt, but they will need to find a way to win without King. The Saints are a tough opponent, but the Packers have a chance to win if they can play well on defense and take care of the ball on offense.
