Evan Dietrich-Smith Suffers Ankle Injury

It's one step forward and two steps back for Packers offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith.

Just when he was making progress coming back from a knee injury to take part in practice on Wednesday, Dietrich-Smith suffered a setback.

"Evan actually, he twisted his ankle today in practice," said head coach Mike McCarthy after practice. "He did not complete the practice, so we'll see how he is in the morning."

The center's status for this upcoming Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons is up in the air at this point, and his availability may be dependent upon how much progress he makes over the next three days.

If the ankle was a serious injury he would not have talked to the media and he did. that's something I learn from the packers when the injury is serious and recently the players don't talk

Yeah someone had a vodo doll out there this year with all 53 on the roster. This might be the worst season since the 4-12 team man not real good is it.
