Packers place guard Lane Taylor on injured reserve

Last week, it looked like the Green Bay Packers were moving towards making rookie Elgton Jenkins a starter at left guard ahead of Lane Taylor, but now an injury to Taylor has answered any questions.

The Packers announced on Saturday that they have placed Taylor on injured reserve, and have signed Adam Pankey, who was on the Tennessee Titans practice squad. Pankey spent all summer on the Packers’ roster, so he’ll already be familiar with Matt LaFleur’s offense.

In the short term, this means Jenkins will take over as the starter at left guard, which could’ve been the case even if Taylor hadn’t got injured.
