Packers Rookie Brandon Cisse Exits Win with Shoulder ‘Stinger’ After First NFL Interception

The late-game nerve injury forced Green Bay to turn to veteran depth at cornerback while his availability is evaluated.

Overview

  • The rookie, who was active for Green Bay’s Week 6 game on Sunday, recorded his first career interception in the second quarter to preserve a 10-0 lead.
  • Cisse left the game holding his right shoulder with just over eight minutes remaining and was checked in the medical tent before not returning.
  • The team officially listed the issue as a stinger, a nerve stretch injury that often causes brief arm numbness or weakness but can vary in recovery time.
  • With veteran Benjamin St-Juste already sidelined, Carrington Valentine replaced Cisse late in the game and provided the immediate depth at cornerback.
  • The Packers did not offer a detailed prognosis after the game and will monitor Cisse in the coming days to determine his short-term availability for the Week 7 road game in Detroit.
