Packers promote rookie safety from practice squad to 53-man roster

In need of depth at safety, the Green Bay Packers promoted rookie Henry Black from the practice squad to the 53-man roster on Tuesday.

Black, an undrafted free agent from Baylor, will provide help at the safety position, where the Packers are dealing with an injury to Raven Greene. Coach Matt LaFleur expressed concern over the severity of Greene’s shoulder injury on Monday.

Black has been elevated from the practice squad four times, twice as a gameday elevation and twice more as a COVID-19 replacement.

Over four games, Black produced six tackles and a forced fumble.
