Packers Elevate Only Winfree What It Mea

GREEN BAY, Wis. The to the 53-man roster for Sundays game against the New York Jets at Lambeau Field.What does that roster move mean? And perhaps more importantly, what does it mean that some other transactions werent made?Elevated: Receiver Juwann WinfreeWith rookie Christian Watson out Richie Incognito Jersey again with a hamstring injury, the Packers moved Winfree up to the gameday roster for the third time this season. Thats the limit. If the Packers need Winfree later in the season, it will come with a permanent promotion to the 53-man roster.A sixth-round pick by Denver in 2019, he joined the Packers practice squad in 2020. He caught 8-of-13 pa ses for 58 yards last season but failed to make a roster bolstered by the addition of three draft picks. Still, hes been the choice over one of those draft picks, seventh-rounder Samori Toure, who was inactive the first five games.I thought Juwann had a nice training camp, quarterback Aaron Rodgers said after final cuts. We know that at times its not a meritocracy. Theres extra opportunity for drafted players; thats the way weve done it in Green Bay for a long time, and Im Josh Jacobs Jersey not knocking it because I wasnt very good my first year, either. Those guys get a little bit more opportunities usually and, if youre an older player, youve got to really cement your role on the team. I feel for Juwann because hes such a great kid.In his two previous elevations, Winfree caught 1-of-3 pa ses for 16 yards.Not Elevated: OLBs LaDarius Hamilton, Kobe JonesOn Friday, coach Matt LaFleur ruled out backup outside linebacker Tipa Galeai (hamstring) and listed starter Rashan Gary (toe) as questionable.The prognosis for Sunday must be OK for Gary because the Packers didnt elevate either of their two practice-squad options, LaDarius Hamilton and Kobe Jones. Green Bay will go into the game with starters Gary and Preston Divine Deablo Jersey Smith joined by the usual top backups, Jonathan Garvin and rookie Kingsley Enagbare.Hamilton joined the Packers early last season. When the Packers placed ZaDarius Smith on injured reserve, they swiped Hamilton off the Buccaneers practice squad. In six games, he played 64 snaps on defense and contributed three tackles and two quarterback hits in 36 rushes.Jones went undrafted out of Mi si sippi State in 2021. He spent his rookie training camp with Atlanta and a couple weeks on Miamis practice squad. After this years draft, Jones was one of 18 players trying out for a place on Green Bays 90-man offseason roster. Jones won that spot. Not Filled: 53rd Roster SpotOn Saturday, Galeai was placed on injured reserve. He hasnt played at all on defense but is tied for the team lead with four tackles on special teams.The Packers could have filled that spot perhaps by simply promoting Winfree. Instead, that spot remains vacant. Perhaps that will go to running back Kylin Hill once hes ready to go.After mi sing the second half of last season with a torn ACL, Hill returned to practice on Wednesday. That opened the 21-day clock to either get him on the active roster or put him back on injured reserve. After almost a year out of the game, this week e sentially was the start of his training camp.Not to Las Vegas Raiders Home Office Injured Reserve: Receiver Christian WatsonThe Packers traded their two second-round picks to the Vikings to move up to No. 34 overall to grab Watson, the elite size-speed prospect from North Dakota State. So far so far being the key words theres been practically no return on investment. After mi sing the first half of training camp following knee surgery, this will be the second time that Watsons mi sed time with an injured hamstring. Hes had two noteworthy plays: the dropped touchdown bomb vs. Minnesota in Week 1 and the 15-yard touchdown run in Week 2.Before Fridays practice, LaFleur said putting Watson on injured reserve was certainly on the table. That move wasnt made, though, so perhaps the light at the end of the tunnel isnt too far.Scroll to ContinueIm holding up, Watson said on Friday. Obviously, its a frustrating situation for me not ideal situation for me. But I know the man upstairs has a plan for me. Its a bump in the road, but its just another step on my journey.More Green Bay Packers Las Vegas Raiders Hoodies Sweatshirts News (with video)
