Jonathan Garvin, the Green Bay Packers’ 2020 seventh-rounder, was missing from practice during the media-open warmups today. It was later revealed that Garvin, an outside linebacker, was placed on the reserve/Covid-19 list by the team. The team has not commented on Garvin’s situation beyond the transaction, but there are very few scenarios where Garvin would be available to play against the Los Angeles Rams this week.
Outside linebacker is now an even more emphasized position than it was already, with Za’Darius Smith, Whitney Mercilus, Chauncey Rivers and Randy Ramsey on the injured reserve and Rashan Gary dealing with an elbow injury that cost him playing time last week.
