Packers rookie cornerback Brandon Cisse had to leave Friday night\u2019s game with a knee injury, but it doesn\u2019t look like he should miss much more time. <\/p>\n

Cisse said he felt \u201ca little something\u201d after a double-team block while covering a punt in the first half of the game and went to the medical tent for evaluation. The second-round pick never left the sideline and said after the game that he felt well enough to return to action. <\/p>\n

\u201cI just got beat up a little bit<\/a>,\u201d Cisse said, via Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. \u201cNothing serious at all. I was trying to go back in. Just being precautionary. I\u2019m fine. Nothing to worry about. I wanted to go back in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cisse is competing for a starting role in the Packers defense and it appears the knee injury won\u2019t be a major stumbling block in his bid for a big role early in his rookie season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Packers rookie cornerback Brandon Cisse had to leave Friday night\u2019s game with a knee injury, but it doesn\u2019t…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":822273,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-822272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/822272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=822272"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/822272\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/822273"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=822272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=822272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=822272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
