with the 12th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft on Thursday night and Gary faced questions about the condition of his shoulder in his first meeting with the Green Bay media.A report this week indicated that Gary has a torn labrum in his shoulder and that there was concern from some teams that he will need to have surgery at some point to repair the issue. Gary said it is not an issue Rashan Gary Jersey , however.Per multiple reporters, Gary said his shoulder is “110 percent” and that he will not need an operation. He also noted that he did 26 bench press reps at the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.Gary played defensive line at Michigan, but was announced as a linebacker by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell when the pick was made and it seems he’ll be used in that role at least some of the time in Mike Pettine’s defense. He said he does not expect the transition to be that difficult and it would certainly be made easier if he’s not missing any time after shoulder surgery. GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Mike Pettine is staying as defensive coordinator of the Packers.New coach Matt LaFleur announced the decision Friday, answering one of his biggest questions just three days after being hired.In his first year, Pettine installed a 3-4 scheme and had mixed results. First-round draft pick Jaire Alexander showed signs he will become the top cornerback the Packers desperately need, and Green Bay was ranked No. 12 in pass defense (234.5 yards per game), a big improvement over 2017. Green Bay finished 6-9-1 and out of the playoffs for the second straight year. As the Packers wrapped up for the offseason last week Dexter Williams Jersey , Pettine said he was hoping to return to keep building."Of course, the foundation is the hardest thing to get right, and I feel that a lot of it has been built — and we've made a lot of mistakes," he said. "I think we learned, especially me personally, too, I've learned a lot of cases of what not to do versus what to do."The Packers did pile up 44 sacks, tied for eighth in the league Vince Biegel Color Rush Jersey , though injuries struck the defensive line. Green Bay lacked a consistent rush at outside linebacker except for surprise sacks leader Kyler Fackrell (10½)."I like his scheme," Fackrell said last week. "There were a lot of things that went against us this year with a ton of injuries, a ton of new guys. I think the way that he was able to still keep us playing pretty well, I think he did a great job."Defensive lineman Kenny Clark also liked the new scheme, which saw 17 different players get at least a half-sack."I had my best season under coach Pettine, and just the blitzes and the different disguises and the different he can do to free people up — it's been great for me," he said. "He's been using a lot of our strengths on the field."Longtime defensive star Clay Matthews is a free agent after finishing with a career-low 3½ sacks in his 10th season with the Packers.
