Packers elevate S Omar Brown from practice squad for Week 16 vs. Saints
The Green Bay Packers elevated safety Omar Brown from the practice squad to the gameday roster for Week 16. The move was announced Monday, making Brown available for Matt LaFleur and the Packers for Monday night’s showdown with the New Orleans Saints.
The Packers don’t have rookie Javon Bullard available due to an ankle injury, and rookie safety Evan Williams was a late add to the injury report on Saturday with a quad injury. Brown, a rookie out of Nebraska, will provide necessary depth at safety.
The Packers originally signed Brown to the practice squad on Aug. 29. He’s been in Green Bay since the start of the regular season but will have a chance to make his NFL debut on Monday.
