Packers activate S Darnell Savage from IR to 53-man roster ahead of showdown with Chiefs

The Green Bay Packers activated safety Darnell Savage from injured reserve ahead of Sunday’s primetime showdown with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Savage was designated for return on Nov. 20. He practiced with the team over the last two weeks, including three practices of full participation this week. The Packers listed him as questionable to play in Week 13 but Savage’s activation to the roster on Saturday strongly suggests he’ll make his return against the Chiefs.

Savage missed five games after aggravating a calf injury against the Denver Broncos on Oct 22.
