Sources: Packers' LaFleur suffers torn Achilles

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers have their first major injury off the offseason program: coach Matt LaFleur.

The 39-year-old first-year head coach, who has shown an hand-on approach in practice, tore his Achilles' tendon, according to a source. The injury did not happen on the practice field, but rather during an activity/workout at the stadium, according to the source.

LaFleur will have surgery on Sunday. A source said team physician Dr. Pat McKenzie advised him to have to it repaired as soon as possible.

Just this week, LaFleur was seen in an OTA practice lining up at safety during a drill. Earlier this offseason, LaFleur, who played quarterback at Saginaw Valley State, actually grabbed the ball and threw some passes during rookie minicamp.

Afterward, he joked that he "threw some good balls out there, man."

The second-youngest coach in Packers' history, LaFleur has an active approach in practice.

"I would say Matt is definitely hands-on," Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett said this week. "The whole key is, especially now in the role that he's in, he's still got to be him. That's why he's here. That's why we're all here. We have to be who we are. I think everybody has their role they want to fill and who they think that they are.

"That's why you love Matt. Matt is the same guy I met about five, six years ago. He hasn't changed a bit besides now he's the head coach of the Packers. Every guy is different. Every head coach I've worked with and all the different guys I've been around have had their niche and how they want to do it."

It's unclear when LaFleur will have surgery, but the Packers have two more weeks left in the offseason program. The final OTAs are next week followed by the mandatory minicamp June 11-13. The players are then off until training camp reporting day on July 24. The first practice is July 25.

Calvin Johnson to Lions: If you want me back in the fold, give me my money back

The Lions want to make peace with receiver Calvin Johnson. There’s only one way to do it.

Make money appear in Johnson’s bank account.


They already know what they got to do,” Johnson told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press on Saturday. “The only way they’re going to get me back is they put that money back in my pocket. Nah, you don’t do that. I don’t care what they say. They can put it back, then they can have me back. That’s the bottom line.”

The Lions required Johnson to reimburse the team for a portion of the signing bonus money that he hadn’t earned before retiring three years ago. The specific amount has been the subject of conflicting reports and accounts, but it’s currently believed that, of the $3.2 million that Johnson had not earned in signing bonus money, he paid back at least $1 million.

Whatever the specific amount on the check written by Johnson to the Lions, Johnson clearly wants that same amount written on a check made out to him before he’ll make nice with the team. Until that happens, Johnson believes there’s nothing to discuss.

“I ain’t talked to [team president] Rod [Wood],” Johnson said. “I don’t even want to talk about that. I don’t have no reason to talk about that. I don’t even talk about the Lions. I mean, I talk to my Lions that came out here to help me out today. . . . I appreciate them so much for that. Just hope to keep those kind of relationships rolling for in the future because these kids, man, they take so much from that.”

Although a signing bonus constitutes advance payment for future services to be rendered, the circumstances surrounding Johnson’s departure from the team suggest that the Lions would have cut Johnson before his cap number spiked to $24 millionin March 2016. In hindsight, the smart move for Johnson would have been not to retire but to force the team to choose between carrying the cap number or cutting him. Alternatively, Johnson’s agent to negotiate a deal with the Lions that would have given them the cap relief they needed while also waiving their right to seek bonus money.

Regardless of what happened in the past, it’s now clear what the Lions need to do if they hope to make amends with the best receiver in franchise history. And the easiest way to do that (since there’s no salary cap for non-players) would be to hire him as a team ambassador, and to pay him for the first year the money that was recovered, along with maybe a little more.
