The Green Bay Packers made it official on Monday when they announced that tight end Tyler Davis was placed on the injured reserve. Davis, a noted special teamer for the team, tore his ACL in the preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals over week ago. Until now, the team had kept him on the 91-man roster.
The corresponding move that the Packers made with the announcement of shutting down Davis for the season was signing inside linebacker Marvin Pierre. This move had been previously reported, as well as the signing of cornerback Elijah Hamilton.
