Packers activate Kumerow from I.R.

By

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jake Kumerow, who was placed on injured reserve September 3 with a chest injury, practiced for the first time on Wednesday.  He becomes the second player to return via the designated-to-return option with Trevor Davis being the other.  It puts the Packers out of return moves, meaning even if they make the playoffs, Geronimo Allison would not be able to rejoin the team.

Kumerow would become the seventh wide receiver on the roster if activated in time for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Kumerow said he is good to go for Sunday, although it might be a stretch for the Packers to activate him after just three days of practice.  If the Packers do make a move with Kumerow, they’ll have to clear a spot on the 53-man roster for him.

The Packers will practice early on Thursday and then again on Saturday, before departing for Minneapolis for Sunday nights game against the Vikings.

Packers do more fine-tuning of roster

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst

After trimming their roster to 53 players on Saturday, then signing eight players to their practice squad on Sunday, the Green Bay Packers made some additional moves on Monday.

The Packers signed LB Korey Toomer after he was released  by the San Francisco 49ers.  The Packers also placed former UW-Whitewater wide receiver Jake Kumerow on injured reserve.  He could return to the Packers in eight weeks if the Packers choose to designate him.

The Packers also signed RB Darius Jackson, who was released by the Dallas Cowboys and signed to their practice squad.  Jackson was a sixth round pick in 2016.  He rushed 21 times for 72 yards during the exhibition season but doesn’t have a carry in a regular season game.

The Packers filled out their 10-man practice squad by bringing back safety Marwin Evans.  They also added former Alabama defensive back Tony Brown.
