Packers place Jared Abbrederis on injured reserve

The Green Bay Packers have not come out of the "mini-bye" as healthy as expected. Now, they have placed wide receiver Jared Abbrederis on injured reserve, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Tom Silverstein.

Abbrederis suffered a thigh injury during his one snap against the Dallas Cowboys two weekends ago and had not participated in a game or practice since. Given the somewhat limited severity of the injury, it appears as though the Packers decided to place the receiver on injured reserve in order to free up a spot on the 53-man roster for a player at another position, most likely in the secondary.
