Bishop left the Packers' preseason game on Thursday night against the San Diego Chargers with the injury. At the time it was described as a knee injury. The hamstring injury was revealed following the game. He had to be taken off the field on a cart.
Green Bay was counting on Bishop to be a key part of their defense. He had a big season in 2011, recording 115 tackles, five sacks and two forced fumbles. Second-year linebacker D.J. Smith will likely take his place in the lineup.
