Green Bay Packers rookie running back Lew Nichols III won’t make the team’s 53-man roster to start the 2023 season. According to Bill Huber of SI.com, the Packers plan to place Nichols on injured reserve before the initial 53-man roster is settled and eventually release him with an injury settlement.
Nichols, a seventh-round pick out of Central Michigan, has missed most of training camp with a shoulder injury. He did not play in any of the team’s three preseason games.
The injury ruined any chance for Nichols to make the team as the third running back.
