GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers placed veteran receiver Devin Funchess on injured reserve on Wednesday, ending his comeback season.
Funchess, previously slowed by an ankle injury, had been out for the past week with an injured hamstring.
When healthy, he was productive. After a slow start to training camp, Funchess had a big Family Night and an impressive preseason debut against Houston with his six receptions for 70 yards. However, he injured his left hamstring last Wednesday during the joint practices with the New York Jets. He didn’t play in the game against New York on Saturday and didn’t practice on Monday and Tuesday.
