2009: Lee missed the first three preseason games with a back injury. When he debuted against Tennessee, he hurt his left knee. He didn't need surgery but it meant a second consecutive year on injure reserve.
2009 outlook: Lee (6-0, 194) was a big disappointment last season, with the second-round pick playing in only five games before heading to injured reserve with a minor knee injury. During limited action, he broke up one pass against Atlanta but otherwise wasn’t a factor on defense or special teams. Lee was drafted because of his man-to-man prowess at Auburn, but with the Packers’ defense shifting away from an all-man, all-the-time scheme, Lee’s growth this season will be something to watch. He was impressive this offseason, spending most of the practices as the fifth corner. With starters Al Harris, 34, and Charles Woodson, 32, among the Packers’ oldest players, they need Lee to grow into at the very least a quality nickel corner. Stepping up and being the fourth corner this year, behind Woodson, Harris and Tramon Williams, would be a good step.
