Boyd has a broken ankle and possible ligament damage. He’ll be placed on injured reserve, which will end his season.
With the roster spot, the Green Bay Packers will reportedly bring back inside linebacker Joe Thomas.
We had Thomas making the Packers’ final roster out of training camp, but he didn’t and wasn’t signed to the practice squad either. Instead, Thomas signed with the Dallas Cowboys’ practice squad.
Interestingly, the Packers put another inside linebacker they cut — Carl Bradford — on their practice squad. Why they aren’t elevating him to the active roster instead of signing Thomas is a mystery to us.
