LANDOVER, Md. (AP) – Green Bay tight end Donald Lee left Sunday’s game against the Redskins in the first quarter with a shoulder injury, and the Packers said he wouldn’t return.
Lee left after catching a 5-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers about six minutes into the game.
His was one of three early injuries for the Packers. Another tight end, Jermichael Finley, was carted off the field with a bad knee after Green Bay’s second offensive play, while defensive lineman Ryan Pickett left two players later with an ankle injury.
The Packers said Finley and Pickett were questionable to return. The team would not say whether any of the injuries were on the players’ right or left side.
Finley tried to make a tackle on the second play, after Redskins safety Kareem Moore picked up a fumble and returned it. Finley was attended to on the field, then driven away on a cart. He entered Sunday leading NFC tight ends with 301 yards receiving.
Two plays later, Pickett stayed down briefly, then walked off the field with help.
