Mike Neal is hoping to be back from knee surgery shortly after the Packers’ bye weekend at the end of October.
The defensive end is coming back from arthroscopic surgery on his left knee 2½ weeks ago to repair cartilage damage sustained in an Aug. 16 training camp practice. During the procedure, team physician Pat McKenzie removed two chunks of loose cartilage and smoothed some jagged areas from which the chunks were torn, all of which was causing Neal pain and swelling in the knee.
By Oct. 31, the day after the Packers’ bye, Neal will be seven weeks removed from surgery.
