Packers activate rookie LB Krys Barnes from COVID-19 reserve list

The Packers are getting back LB Krys Barnes after the rookie missed 3 games while on the COVID-19 reserve list.

 

The Green Bay Packers are getting back their rookie inside linebacker.

The team activated Krys Barnes from the reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday.

The undrafted free agent from UCLA had 50 tackles, one sack and three tackles for loss during the first eight games of the 2020 season.

The Packers originally placed Barnes on the COVID-19 reserve list on Nov. 6. He hasn’t played since the Packers’ win over the San Francisco 49ers on Nov. 5.

GM Brian Gutekunst didn’t need to make a roster move because he had two open roster spots. Barnes practiced on Wednesday.

Rookie running back A.J. Dillon remains on the COVID-19 list.
