Green Bay Packers rookie defensive lineman Montravius Adams had successful surgery on his injured foot, coach Mike McCarthy confirmed on Tuesday morning.
McCarthy stuck to the same vague timeline he outlined on Monday, saying Adams is expected to be out “multiple weeks.”
UPDATE: Ian Rapoport of NFL Network says Adams is expected to be out six weeks, although the team hopes he returns sooner.
Screw inserted. Out about 6 weeks or so. Hope is a few less
Rapoport reported on Monday that Adams needed a screw inserted to fix a stress fracture in his foot.
Adams first suffered the injury during Friday’s practice. He sat out padded practices on Saturday and Monday.
Teammates were disappointed for Adams, who was enjoying a strong start to camp.
“Just the first two days of practice, his explosiveness, how he gets upfield, he looked real good,” second-year defensive lineman Kenny Clark said, according to Tom Silverstein of PackersNews.com.
Veteran Ricky-Jean Francois said Adams looked “pretty special.”
