That played out exactly like we thought it would.
The Green Bay Packers placed linebacker Sam Barrington on injured reserve, which ends his season, and activated defensive end Datone Jones from the suspended list, on Tuesday.
Barrington had been dealing with an ankle injury, but it was apparently a foot injury that ended his season.
So what now?
We know what now at inside linebacker.
The Packers will turn to Nate Palmer to fill Barrington’s spot. When they shift Clay Matthews outside, that will also create an expanded role for rookie Jake Ryan.
