The top priority for any team in the preseason is to keep as many players as possible healthy.

For the Packers, the preseason has begun with linebacker Desmond Bishop being helped off the field with a right leg injury.

It appears that Chargers running back Ronnie Brown landed on the top of Bishop’s lower leg as it was extended. ESPN’s Lisa Salters reports that trainers were working on Bishop’s right knee.

Bishop joins a long list of Packers who have been wounded since camp opened.
