The Green Bay Packers designated linebacker Krys Barnes for return from injured reserve on Wednesday.
Per reporters on the scene, Barnes was participating with the team during Wednesday’s practice, meaning his 21-day window to be activated from injured reserve to the 53-man roster begins. The Packers have until Wednesday, Nov. 23 to activate Barnes or place him back on injured reserve.
Barnes, a third-year linebacker, was initially placed on injured reserve on Sept. 13 after suffering a significant ankle injury in Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings.
Barnes has missed seven consecutive games.
