GREEN BAY - There was a bit of an active-roster surprise Sunday when wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown was inactive, leaving the Green Bay Packers with four active wideouts for the season opener at Minnesota.
But that was on paper only, as running back Tyler Ervin lined up as a receiver for most of his snaps, and the fifth-year speedster out of San Diego State spent much of training camp working with the receivers in individual drills.
“I was just trying to fulfill a need and do whatever the coaches asked me to do,” Ervin said of the dual role he has taken on.
