Packers At Steelers Preseason Game Day thread

[pbmax]

The beat writers asked LaFleur today if Banks had a procedure on his knee between offseason workouts and camp. LaFleur said you would have to ask Banks.

Which is a red flag as usually there is a script for commenting on injuries and procedures for players. It suggests the writers strongly suspect (or have a source) that Banks had a procedure done and the Packers cannot comment because they didn't perform or approve it. It was his left knee that landed him on PUP at the beginning of camp.

He's participated in individual workouts but no team.

I don't assume MLF's comment means all that. He doesn't like to talk about player injuries ("He's limited.") and leaves it up to the players as to how open to the public they want to be about their health. For instance, basically everything we know about Parsons' situation is based on what Parsons has said to reporters.
