Packers' Lukas Van Ness Returns to Practice Ahead of Denver Trip

The third-year pass rusher resumes work after a foot injury that limited him to six snaps since October.

Overview

  • Coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Lukas Van Ness returned to practice after missing seven of the past eight games with a foot injury.
  • He injured the foot on Oct. 12 while sacking Joe Flacco and managed only a brief Week 12 appearance of six snaps before being shut down again.
  • Van Ness was limited in his first session back, leaving his availability for game action to be determined.
  • Over the season’s first five games he produced 16 pressures, five quarterback hits and four multi-pressure outings, giving Jeff Hafley edge and interior options.
  • Green Bay visits Denver on Sunday to face a Broncos offensive line graded No. 1 in pass blocking by Pro Football Focus, with the Packers at 9-3-1 on a four-game win streak.
