The Green Bay Packers will get some extra help on offense and possibly on special teams from the practice squad in Week 6.
The team elevated wide receiver Juwann Winfree from the practice squad to the gameday roster for Sunday’s showdown with the Chicago Bears.
The Packers needed depth at receiver with Marquez Valdes-Scantling on injured reserve for at least one more game and Malik Taylor now on the COVID-19 reserve list.
Teams can elevate a player from the practice squad two times in a season, but Winfree is a COVID-19 replacement for Taylor, meaning he’ll still have two more elevations available for 2021.
