Green Bay Packers first-round draft pick Rashan Gary hasn't recorded a single stat in the first two preseason games, but the team isn't too concerned, at least not yet. Gary has played 66 snaps so far in the preseason and his only tackle was wiped away by a penalty.

Packers defensive coordinator Mike Pettine knows that Gary is going to be a work in progress, so he really isn't concerned with the lack of stats during the preseason.

“We're pleased with where he is,” Packers defensive coordinator Mike Pettine said via Rob Demovsky of ESPN. “Just kind of teaching him the outside linebacker position, we knew that he was going to be a little bit of a work in progress.”

While at Michigan, Gary mostly played defensive end, so playing outside linebacker is a change and something that could take a while to perfect.

Gary also said he isn't losing any sleep over it because he knows that he has improved each time he has stepped onto the field.

“I'm not going to lose sleep over it because I know I'm getting better,” Gary said. “If I work the rush versus the Texans and then this past week, I'm getting better. OK, boom. Now the game is coming to me. My most important thing is growing and making sure I'm taking my notes.”

If this lack of production continues into the regular season there is no doubt going to be more chatter and maybe more concern from the coaching staff, but right now they are just preaching patience.
