NEW YORK — The Green Bay Packers lost starting left tackle Bryan Bulaga for the season, but added veteran quarterback Vince Young. The team confirmed Monday that Bulaga is out for the season with a torn ACL. Bulaga was injured during practice Saturday. Bulaga was moved from right tackle to the left side as part of the Packers' revamping of the line to better protect quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who was sacked a league-high 51 times last year. Injuries have caused Bulaga to miss 11 games over the past two seasons. Meanwhile, Young signed a one-year deal with the Packers after a workout for the team Monday morning, according to ESPN's Josina Anderson. Willis undergoes surgery San Francisco 49ers All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis recently had surgery to repair his fractured right hand, ESPN reported. Willis is expected to return in about three weeks. That means he will be ready before the 49ers open the season against the Green Bay Packers on Sept. 8. He sustained the injury last Wednesday while going against fullback Bruce Miller during a one-on-one pass-rush drill. Griffin getting ready Robert Griffin III is champing at the bit to ramp up his on-field work, but the Washington Redskins quarterback is heeding the plan created by head coach Mike Shanahan as the team takes a cautious approach with RG3's recovery from knee surgery. The quarterback participated in 7-on-7 drills during the opening week of training camp and will slowly be introduced to more work, but isn't expected to play during the preseason. — Reuters
