Green Bay Packers linebacker Nick Barnett could be headed for his second season-ending surgery in three years.
According to multiple sources, the initial diagnosis on his right wrist is that Barnett will need surgery to repair it.
It's just a matter of when that surgery will be needed. It is likely it will be needed before the end of the season, sources said.
There is a possibility the surgery could be put off until after the season. Barnett will get a second opinion on Friday and then a determination will be made on the timeframe for surgery.
