Packers add John Lovett, Darrius Shepherd, and Billy Winn to 53-man roster

The Packers have made three roster moves ahead of their Week 3 game with the New Orleans Saints.

First, they’ve signed tight end John Lovett and wide receiver Darrius Shepherd to the 53-man roster. Lovett has been elevated from the practice squad for the first two weeks of the season, but the Packers couldn’t make a third elevation without exposing him to waivers. He’s played twelve snaps on offense in his first two games, and will likely continue to play a Josiah Deguara-esque role with the Packers’ 2020 third-round pick still hurt.
