The Green Bay Packers placed cornerback Parry Nickerson on injured reserve on Tuesday.
Nickerson played his first game of the season for Green Bay on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but left the game after appearing on just two special teams plays. He was injured on the Buccaneers’ first punt of the game as he pulled up trying to block Tampa gunner Ryan Smith on punt coverage.
Nickerson was a sixth-round pick of the New York Jets in 2018 and appeared in 16 games for the team as a rookie.
