GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers may not have to wait two months for rookie third-round pick Montravius Adams to play after all.
The Packers placed backup guard/center Don Barclay on injured reserve Sunday, leaving Adams on the roster for now. Barclay sustained an ankle injury in the Aug. 10 preseason opener against the Eagles and hasn’t been on the field since. Adams hasn’t practiced since he underwent foot surgery after participating in just two training camp practices.
Teams can bring back two players off injured reserve during the season – and they no longer have to designate which ones ahead of time – but they must wait until after Week 8 to do so.
