The Green Bay Packers hosted a charity softball game on Saturday that started with Clay Matthews on the mound and ended with the star linebacker in the emergency room. Matthews was pitching in the game and one of the batters drove a line drive right to Matthews' face which immediately sent him to the ground.Dave Schroeder Walter Payton Jersey , a sports anchor for WBAY in Green Bay, was able to capture video footage of the incident.Packers LB Clay Matthews takes a liner off the face pitching in the charity softball game at Fox Cities Stadium.

Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network later reported that Matthews was sent to the emergency room and was diagnosed with a broken nose. The situation could have been much worse, but all precautions were taken by sending Matthews to the hospital.The softball game was being played at the home of the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers who are Class A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. ESPN reports that Brett Favre, Donald Driver and Jordy Nelson have hosted the event in years prior. With Nelson being released this offseason, Matthews and Davante Adams co-hosted the game this year.With the crowd likely worried about the status of their six-time Pro Bowler, Adams addressed the audience and updated Matthews' status.Davante Adams updates the crowd on Clay Matthews: 鈥淚 wanted to let everybody know Clay is all right. He鈥檚 got a little boo-boo on his nose, but he鈥檒l be all right. He鈥檚 a tough guy.鈥?#Packers— Kelly Price (@thekellyprice) June 2, 2018Schroeder also said that the game resumed with a protective net in front of the mound similar to how MLB batting practice is set up.#Packers softball team captain comes out wearing Clay Matthews jersey Cheap Uchenna Nwosu Jersey , they will put up protective bet to pitch behind.

Really hope it was a minor injury pic.twitter.com/VS9sw4BEOK— Dave Schroeder (@SchroederWBAY) June 2, 2018This continues an eventful offseason for Matthews who had knee surgery right after the season ended in January. He appears to be fully healed from that, and despite notching 7.5 sacks last season, there was some speculation that he could have been cut alongside Jordy Nelson this offseason. But the Packers have elected to hold onto him for at least one more year and the 2018 season will be a contract year for him. 鈥?Joe Flacco needed only one series to show why there won’t be any competition this summer to determine the Baltimore Ravens starting quarterback.The other two guys, however, also put on quite a show.Flacco threw a touchdown pass on his only series of the game, rookie Lamar Jackson ran for a score and Baltimore rolled to a 33-7 preseason victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night.Baltimore (2-0) led 17-0 after the first period and cruised to the finish against the Rams (0-1), who rested offensive stars Jared Goff and Todd Gurley.After sitting out the Hall of Fame Game last week, Flacco went 5 for 7 for 71 yards during a 10-play drive. The 11-year veteran overcame a second-and-25 with a 30-yard pass to newcomer Michael Crabtree and finished with a 6-yard TD throw to Patrick Ricard.“That’s really all we needed from Joe DJ Chark Youth Jersey ,” coach John Harbaugh said. “Get Lamar out there with a lot of reps, get Robert (Griffin III) out there.”Jackson entered the next time Baltimore got the ball and coolly directed a 73-yard march in which he completed a 36-yard pass to Chris Moore and broke two tackles running for a 9-yard touchdown.“It was a great run,” Harbaugh said. “I thought he was tackled twice 鈥?and then he wasn’t.”Said Jackson: “They tried to get to me, I made a guy miss. Then I did what I do best and tried to get in the end zone.”Jackson went 7 for 18 for 119 yards, ran for 21 yards and was sacked twice before giving way to Griffin early in the third quarter.Griffin went 5 for 7 for 88 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown strike to Breshad Perriman.Flacco has been named Baltimore’s starter in the regular season. Griffin is seeking a comeback after being inactive in 2017, and Jackson is trying to adjust to the pro game after winning a Heisman Trophy at Louisville and being drafted in the first round last April.Jackson could learn a thing or two by watching Flacco.“He was awesome. He was smooth, had a lot of poise in the pocket,” the rookie said.The Ravens and Rams held joint practices Monday and Tuesday Harold Landry Jersey , and Los Angeles coach Sean McVay indicated the work against outside opposition would enable him to rest a few of his starters in the preseason opener.So, Sean Mannion opened at quarterback, Malcolm Brown lined up behind him and the offense sputtered for much of the night.Los Angeles gained 5 yards and made one first down in the first quarter. The Rams trailed 23-0 at halftime after totaling 45 yards and three first downs.“We expect to play better and we will,” McVay said. “Sometimes these lessons, these humbling experiences if you will, for everybody is the level of awareness. You can’t wait to get back to work and know that we got a lot work to do. What’s encouraging is we have time to figure it out.”Mannion played the first half, going 3 for 13 for 16 yards and an interception.“It certainly wasn’t my best performance. Just wasn’t really able to get into a rhythm early,” Mannion said.NATIONAL ANTHEMBoth teams stood during the national anthem. While most of the Ravens lined up shoulder to shoulder on the sideline, second-year linebacker Tim Williams stood alone in front of the bench with his back toward the field.INJURIESIt appeared as if both teams got out of the game without any significant injuries.HELMET RULEThe Rams received successive 15-yard penalties in the first quarter for lowering the head to initiate contact Cheap Marcedes Lewis Jersey , a new rule this season. Marqui Christian received the first flag, and Blake Countess followed. The penalties attributed for nearly half the yardage in a drive that produced a field goal for a 17-0 lead.“The preseason offers a great opportunity for all of us to work through some things and learn,” McVay said. “How that can enable us to better coach it, and how we can better understand, how we can expect them to consistently officiate that knowing that most importantly it’s about taking the head out of the game.”UP NEXT:Rams: After an extended stay on the East Coast, Los Angeles heads home to begin preparation for its next opponent, the Oakland Raiders at home on Aug. 18.Ravens: Their next preseason game isn’t until Aug. 20 at Indianapolis, but that begins a stretch of three games in 11 days..
