Packers WR Juwann Winfree and S Micah Abernathy elevated to active roster

The Green Bay Packers announced on Saturday that they elevated receiver Juwann Winfree and safety Micah Abernathy to the active gameday roster, bringing their gameday total up to 48 available players. As a reminder, NFL teams are able to call up players two times from the practice squad this season, for a max of two players per game, without having to sign the player(s) to the 53-man roster.

Last season, Winfree was activated in Week 5, Week 7 and Week 11 before being signed to the 53-man roster in Week 14. Winfree was able to be called up three times in 2021 due to him being called up as a Covid replacement, which changes the count from two call-ups to three call-ups for the season.
