The Story in 60 Seconds

Green Bay Packers linebacker Ty'Ron Hopper was ruled out of Sunday's game against the New England Patriots after suffering a chest injury in the first quarter. Hopper initially entered the blue medical tent and was listed as questionable before the team officially downgraded his status to out.

Hopper was replaced by Nick Niemann during the defense's second series. His injury further challenges Green Bay's linebacker depth, with Edgerrin Cooper already sidelined for the season with an Achilles injury and Zaire Franklin missing his third consecutive contest due to a shin issue.
