The first step to Green Bay Packers right tackle Billy Turner getting back on the field arrived Tuesday when the team activated him from the COVID-19 reserve list.
Turner, who started the first 13 games, injured his knee against the Chicago Bears on Dec. 12 and missed the final four regular-season games. He’s been on the COVID-19 reserve list since Monday, Jan. 3.
Coach Matt LaFleur said Turner could begin practicing again this week, making it possible he’ll be ready physically for the start of the postseason in two weeks.
If Turner is back, the Packers would be close to full strength along the offensive line, with four of five preferred starters available.
