The Green Bay Packers have officially announced their initial 53-man roster for the 2024 season. The big headline this week is that the team felt the need to trade for Tennessee Titans quarterback Malik Willis, who made the roster over Sean Clifford and Michael Pratt — who were previously fighting for the backup quarterback job behind Jordan Love this summer.
Beyond the quarterback drama, one of the biggest takeaways from the Packers’ announcement was how they handled their injured reserve. Per the new NFL rules, Green Bay was allowed to place two players on injured reserve with a designation to return this season ahead of cutdowns.
