Green Bay Packers safety Atari Bigby will miss at least four weeks after having ankle surgery earlier this month, putting his availability in doubt for the team's season opener at Philadelphia.

Bigby says it would be ''very disappointing'' to start the season on the team's physically unable to perform list. He is expected to be out 4 to 8 weeks, so even if he makes it back quickly, he still would have little time to get ready for the Sept. 12 opener.

Bigby had surgery on his troublesome left ankle Aug. 6. If he begins the season on the physically unable to perform list, he would miss the first six weeks of the season.
