Former Hendricken star Will Blackmon put on IR by Packers

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Will Blackmon’s second NFL season will end just like his first — on injured reserve.

The Packers’ second-year cornerback suffered the fourth significant injury of his 18-month pro career when he broke his right foot in practice. Coach Mike McCarthy revealed the injury following Thursday’s practice.

Blackmon, who broke the same foot during a May 2006 minicamp, was covering a receiver during the final 11-on-11 team period of Wednesday’s practice when they got their feet tangled up.

The injury is the latest in a string of bad luck for Blackmon, who came back from the foot injury after missing the first five games of last season, only to suffer a broken rib in his fourth game on the active roster and winding up on IR.

Then, Blackmon won the kickoff and punt return jobs in preseason, only to suffer a broken left thumb during the Aug. 23 preseason game against Jacksonville. The injury required casting and cost him the return job, although Blackmon did play as the No. 4 corner in the dime defense.

“I feel terrible for Will. He was coming on strong. We all saw what he did as a returner,” McCarthy said. “We felt he and Jarrett Bush were right there neck-and-neck as the No. 3 corner. It’s a shame. He was contributing on special teams and was really making a move.”
