Green Bay Packers tight end Colt Lyerla will sit out the remainder of training camp after sustaining injuries to his PCL and MCL ligaments, according to a report by ESPN's Rob Demovsky. Lyerla will be out for an extended period of time, but may return to the lineup later in the season as long as he avoids the injured reserve list.

Fantasy Impact: Lyerla may someday turn out to be a serviceable player in the NFL. That said, he’s not exactly expected to compete for major playing time at tight end any time soon.
The Packers now have to consider whether they’re going to expose him to the waiver wire or not. If they did, he’d likely get picked up given that he can run a 40-yard dash in 4.61 seconds. Regardless of his future status on the roster though, fantasy owners should just be aware that he won’t be on the radar for now due to his ailments.
