Bostick was expected to be a candidate to start at tight end for the Packers in Week 1, but he may still be able to get back on track. However, Richard Rodgers will gain a leg up on the competition now. The severity of Bostick’s injury is unknown.

Here is a tweet from the Green Bay Packers’ official Twitter account confirming Bostick’s departure from the game.
