Jared Abbrederis and Chris Banjo Sent to IR

The Green Bay Packers’ injury parade continues. They have placed safety Chris Banjo and receiver Jared Abbrederis on injured reserve.

Banjo, one of the Packers’ top special teams performers, has only played in two games this season. It was expected he would be able to return, but with their safety depth and issues at cornerback, the Packers obviously felt Banjo was essentially expendable.

More Packers CB injury news: Chris Banjo headed to IR, source says. Will be healthy in 3-4 wks but they're juggling roster spots at CB.

Abbrederis, it appears, was in a similar situation.
