Packers Confirm Season-Ending Injuries to Jordon Riley and Kamal Hadden

The injuries further deplete a defense already struggling to stop the run.

Overview

  • Head coach Matt LaFleur said Sunday that defensive tackle Jordon Riley and cornerback Kamal Hadden will miss the rest of the season following the loss to the Ravens.
  • Riley exited in the second quarter with an Achilles injury suffered on Derrick Henry’s second rushing touchdown, was carted to the locker room, and was ruled out shortly after.
  • Riley joined Green Bay’s 53-man roster on Dec. 3 from the Giants’ practice squad after Devonte Wyatt’s season-ending ankle injury, adding to a recent stretch that also includes Micah Parsons’ torn ACL and John FitzPatrick’s torn Achilles.
  • Hadden left with an ankle injury after entering for struggling tackler Carrington Valentine, tightening a cornerback group already coping with injuries.
  • Safety Javon Bullard blasted the run defense in a postgame clip shared by reporter Matt Schneidman, while Malik Willis provided a rare bright spot by throwing for 288 yards with one passing touchdown and rushing for two more.
