LaFleur will almost certainly be in a cart for the team’s mandatory minicamp from June 11-13 and will have to use crutches during the recovery process.
LaFleur came to Packers in the offseason to take over for Mike McCarthy, the coach the previous 13 seasons in Green Bay. He was previously the offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans.
Previously, LaFleur had served as Sean McVay’s offensive coordinator with the Los Angeles Rams, but did not call plays. LaFleur was also the quarterbacks coach in Atlanta from 2015 to 2016.
