Packers add Taylor and Winfree to roster, place Watkins on IR

Earlier this afternoon, the Packers announce they have signed RB Patrick Taylor to the active roster, elevated WR Juwann Winfree from the practice squad to the active roster for tomorrow's game in Tampa Bay and placed WR Sammy Watkin on injured reserve.

Regarding injured reserve, there are three main changes this year:

  • Teams are allowed to return a maximum of eight players from the IR during the season.
  • A player can be designated to return a maximum of two times during the season, with both counting towards the team’s grand total of eight designations allowed.
