With the Green Bay Packers losing Whitney Mercilus to a season-ending injury two weeks ago and seeing Rashan Gary day-to-day with a hyperextended elbow, the group of edge rushers on the field for the team last week lacked significant star power. Preston Smith was the only well-known player to suit up against the Minnesota Vikings, as the Packers made do with Tipa Galeai and Jonathan Garvin opposite him.
Now, Garvin is on the reserve/COVID-19 list and will likely miss Sunday’s upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams. With yet another absence on the edge, the Packers will likely elevate La’Darius Hamilton from the practice squad to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.
