The Packers announced their initial 53-man roster on Saturday. The most surprising news was that wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown was placed on season-ending injured reserve.
Had he made the initial 53 then been placed on IR, he could’ve returned this season. But instead, his season is over.
The Packers did, however, keep six receivers on the roster.
As expected, Davante Adams, Geronimo Allison, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Jake Kumerow and Trevor Davis all made the roster. Notably, undrafted rookie Darrius Shepherd also made the roster after an impressive preseason.
