With Tyler Ervin headed for IR, the Packers will turn to Tavon Austin.

It’s exciting to think what Tavon Austin can add on special teams for the Green Bay Packers. Also as a gadget player on offense.

We’ll likely see Austin in action sooner rather than later.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, returner Tyler Ervin is “likely headed to IR”. Ervin is dealing with a foot injury, which Pelissero adds is expected to keep him out for at least a month.
