Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said RB Emanuel Wilson "dodged" a serious knee injury after leaving practice early on Friday.
The injury has been reported as an "extremely scary" non-contact injury, but tests seemingly revealed something minor and he was seen walking along the sidelines on Saturday, under his own power.
