The Packers have likewise raised protective lineman Billy Winn from the practice squad for todays video game. Winn provides the Packers some defensive line depth Kenny Clark recovering but still doubtful, though hes a bit of an unusual possibility. He appeared in 68 games for the Browns, Colts, and Broncos from 2011 through 2016, however a range of severe injuries have kept him off the field ever since. At 6-foot-4 and 305 pounds, Winn provides great size, but hes a question mark beyond that.
Theyve signed tight end John Lovett and broad receiver Darrius Shepherd to the 53-man roster. Lovett has been elevated from the practice team for the very first 2 weeks of the season, but the Packers could not make a third elevation without exposing him to waivers. Hes played twelve snaps on offense in his first 2 video games, and will likely continue to play a Josiah Deguara-esque function with the Packers 2020 third-round choice still injured.
The Packers have actually made 3 roster relocations ahead of their Week 3 video game with the New Orleans Saints.
Shepherd made the Packers initial 2019 roster as an undrafted complimentary agent, but had an ignominious start to his NFL profession. In 6 video games, he captured one pass for one backyard on 2 targets, the uncaught target bouncing off his facemask into the hands of a Detroit Lions defender. He also returned 2 punts for -9 backyards. With Davante Adams appearing unlikely to play today, the Packers would only have had 4 healthy receivers.
