The Green Bay Packers are getting back cornerback Keisean Nixon ahead of Sunday’s practice.
Coach Matt LaFleur said Nixon would come off the non-football injury list and be available for practice on Sunday.
Nixon (5-10, 200) arrived in Green Bay as a free-agent signing from the Las Vegas Raiders. While still in the mix for a backup job at cornerback and a key spot on special teams, he missed the first nine practices with a groin injury and will only now be making his training camp debut on Sunday.
Nixon, an undrafted free agent from South Carolina, made 38 tackles over 40 games and three seasons (2019-21) with the Raiders.
