Packers place Davis on IR

September 11, 2018 By Bill Scott

Trevor Davis

The Green Bay Packers placed third-year wide receiver Trevor Davis on injured reserve on Tuesday.  They claimed CB Deante Burton off of waivers from Atlanta to fill the roster spot.

Davis was a late addition to the Packers injury report this past weekend when he showed up to Lambeau Field with his hamstring acting up.  Packers coach Mike McCarthy on Monday said the team took him out on the field for an early workout and “he wasn’t ready to go”.

Davis missed most of the preseason with hamstring issues but returned for the final preseason game in Kansas City.

Burton was an undrafted free agent out of Kansas State who spent all of the 2017 season on the practice squad.  He played mostly on special teams for the Falcons last Thursday night before being released.

The Packers also released safety Marwin Evans from their practice squad and released corner Quinten Rollins and running back Devante Mays on Monday with injury settlements.

The Packers filled the open spot on their practice squad by signing CB Will Redmond.

Mo Wilkerson is among those that returned to practice on Sunday.

The Green Bay Packers had a number of players return to the practice field on Sunday.

Defensive lineman Mike Daniels, corner Kevin King, left tackle David Bakhtiari and running back Aaron Jones all returned but didn’t take part in team drills.

Corner Jaire Alexander, WR Adonis-Jennings, fullback Joe Kerridge, WR Randall Cobb, TE Jimmy Graham and defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson all returned and took part in all drills.

The only three players that didn’t practice were WR Trevor Davis (hamstring), RB Devante Mays (hamstring) and safety Jermaine Whitehead (back).

The Packers hold their last open training camp practice of the week today (Monday).  The rest of the week is behind closed doors with the team set to play preseason game number two on Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Lambeau Field.

The Green Bay Packers wrapped up exhibition play with a 24-10 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night at Lambeau Field.

Brett Hundley played the entire first half at quarterback, completing 11 of 21 passes for 99 yards and a touchdown.  He also added a 13-yard touchdown run in the second quarter and finished with a quarterback rating of 81.2.

In four preseason games, Hundley completed 48 of 76 for 482 yards, three touchdowns and one interception with two rushing touchdowns.

After a first half of mostly passing, the Packers emphasized the running game in the second half.  Aaron Jones led the way with 48 yards on eight carries.  Jamaal Williams had 31 yards on 11 carries ad Devante Mays had 18 yards on six carries.

The Packers didn’t dress 28 players for the game.  Some are recovering from injuries but the majority were starters that were being held out until the regular season opener against Seattle a week from Sunday. [Read more…]

Packers release RB’s Michael and Jackson, pick up option on Clinton-Dix

May 2, 2017 By Bill Scott

Packers workout last season at Ray Nitschke Field.

Just two days after drafting three running backs, the Green Bay Packers thinned out their backfield with the release of veteran Christine Michael and Don Jackson. Monday’s move leaves converted wide receiver Ty Montgomery as the only running back currently under contract, and reiterates General Manager Ted Thompson’s assertion over the weekend that Montgomery is “absolutely…our starting running back.”

Michael was claimed off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks during last season, and went on to play nine games for Green Bay. After rushing for 172 yards and one touchdown on 47 carries, the Packers re-signed Michael in March for $800,000. Jackson, an 2016 undrafted free agent, worked his way from the practice squad to the active roster, but was eventually placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury.

What’s left is Montgomery, a second-year back, and three rookie draft picks: BYU’s Jamaal Williams in the fourth round, Aaron Jones of UTEP in the fifth, and Utah State’s Devante Mays in the seventh.

Green Bay also announced Monday they have picked up the fifth-year option on safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. The 2014 draft pick made his first Pro Bowl in 2016 after posting a career-best five interceptions. Clinton-Dix, who has never missed a game and played every defensive snap last season, is scheduled to make $1.5-million in 2017 and $5.9-million in 2018.
