The Green Bay Packers placed defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson on injured reserve, signed cornerback Tony Brown to the active roster from the practice squad, and signed defensive lineman Deon Simon to the practice squad.
Wilkesron got leg whipped by Packers safety Kentrell Brice late in the second quarter of the team's loss in Washington last Sunday. He was carted off with a left ankle injury and taken to a hospital by ambulance. He stayed in the hospital overnight, which spoke to the severity of the injury.
Wilkerson was one of the Packers' marquee free-agent signings this offseason.
