Really sucks. Before the injury Twitter was blowing up about what a great camp he was having.

Green Bay Packers rookie linebacker Kamal Martin, a possible starter, had surgery for a torn meniscus on Tuesday and will not be available for at least six weeks, a source told ESPN.

Martin, a fifth-round pick from Minnesota, suffered the injury to his left knee. He saw his final college season cut short because of a right knee injury.

He took part in the Packers' scrimmage Sunday at Lambeau Field, and he was not seen needing medical assistance.

The Packers open the season Sept. 13 against the Minnesota Vikings.

While most of the hype around the Packers' rookie class has focused on quarterback Jordan Love, a first-round pick, and powerful running back AJ Dillon (second round), Martin has opened the most eyes and was in line for perhaps the biggest role.

"The first thing that jumps out is he's a long, athletic guy," Packers coach Matt LaFleur said late in camp. "He's very intelligent, he works hard at it. It's going to come down to getting those reps and feeling comfortable in there and knowing what to do so he can go showcase that athleticism on Sundays."

The Packers revamped their inside linebacker group in the offseason. They signed former Cleveland Browns starter Christian Kirksey after longtime starter Blake Martinez left for the New York Giants in free agency. The other spot had been a camp competition between Martin, Oren Burks and Ty Summers.

Burks did not take part in the scrimmage due to an undisclosed injury, meaning Summers -- a seventh-round pick in 2019 who played only on special teams as a rookie -- could be next in line.

Defensive coordinator Mike Pettine last season rotated between a traditional second inside linebacker, usually B.J. Goodson (now with the Browns), and a hybrid safety/linebacker. Raven Greene would be the most likely player to fill the hybrid role, but he also has missed the past week of practice because of an injury.

Martin underwent surgery on his right knee in December and did not run at the NFL scouting combine.

"The knee is feeling really good," Martin said last week before his most recent injury. "It feels good getting back out there. It's been since last November since I've been able to run around and stuff like that. It's feeling really good."

That's too bad about Kamal Martin. But he'll be back, if the season goes on as planned. Oren Burks gotta bring it for now.

We are not allowed to have good ILB play apparently.

A pair of recently released wide receivers are set to visit with the Packers.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Chester Rogers is meeting with the team and his colleague Jeremy Fowler reports that Devin Smith will work out.

Rogers was released by the Dolphins this week. He had 111 catches for 1,221 yards and five touchdowns in 53 games for the Colts over the last four seasons.

Smith was a second-round pick by the Jets in 2015, but only played 14 games for them because of knee injuries. He played four games for Dallas last season, but got cut on Wednesday.

Devin Smith tore the ACL on the same knee twice. Like Jabari. If he can make it back to the NFL, props to him.

Have to think the Packers are signing a WR unless Malik Taylor made it. I think he's the only name I haven't seen cut.
