Packers activate WR Juwann Winfree for week 6 as COVID replacement for Malik Taylor

Malik Taylor is out. The Green Bay Packers placed their WR6 and primary special teams gunner on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday, shutting him down for Sunday's rivalry game against the Chicago Bears.

Earlier this week, the Packers brought Equanimeous St. Brown onto the 53-man roster from their practice squad after he was activated for each of the past three games. But on Saturday, the team promoted another practice squad receiver to the roster for gameday to fill Taylor's special teams role.

That player is Juwann Winfree, who will play his first game of 2021 on Sunday.
