Kentrell Brice’s right ankle isn’t broken, and it appears the Green Bay Packers safety has avoided the type of injury that could have ended his 2018 season before it even started.

Brice didn’t participate but was present at Packers practice on Tuesday, just one day after he was carted off the field with what appeared to be a major lower-body injury.

Brice told Bill Huber of Packer Report that “it wasn’t as serious as it could have been.”

“I was scanning left to right in the punt formation,” Brice explained. “I don’t know who it was – somebody just smashed into my opposite ankle. Couldn’t do nothing about it.”

Brice missed the final 10 games of last season while recovering from an ankle injury that required reconstructive surgery.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier Tuesday that X-rays on Brice’s ankle came back negative. (For all you Michael Scotts out there, a negative test result is a good thing for Brice.)

Significant swelling around the ankle suggests Brice will still miss a good chunk of time during training camp.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy wasn’t able to provide a timeline for Brice’s return while speaking to reporters before Tuesday’s practice. The third-year safety stood on the sidelines during practice without the assistance of a walking boot or crutches, although Huber reported Brice was heavily favoring his right ankle while moving around.

Test results on linebacker Jake Ryan’s injured knee have yet to be released, but several reports indicate the Packers are fearing the worst. McCarthy said the team was completing testing Tuesday.
