The Green Bay Packers announced on Wednesday that rookie tackle Caleb Jones has been activated off of the non-football illness list, which he had been on since Week 4. Jones contracted mononucleosis earlier in the season, which led to him missing north of two months of action.
Jones originally was signed to the Packers’ practice squad at the start of the season but was quickly signed to the active roster when it was clear that he was going to get poached by another team as offensive line injuries stacked up league-wide. Green Bay did not need to make a corresponding roster move to add Jones back to the active roster, as the team only had 52 players on their squad.
