Packers NT B.J. Raji Out For the Season

Packers suffered their first injury to a starting player this season.

Nose tackle B.J. Raji is out for the season after suffering a torn right bicep in Friday's preseason game against the Oakland Raiders.

Raji is the third Packer to sustain a season ending injury but the first starter.

Raji had his best seasons with the Packers in 2009 and 2010 while playing nose tackle but struggled the last three years when he was switched to defensive end. He resigned with the Packers to a one year $4 million dollar deal this off-season after drawing little interest in the free agent market.

Packers have second year player Josh Boyd,  rookie Mike Pennel  and former Minnesota Viking Letroy Guion who can fill the nose tackle position.
