The Green Bay Packers placed wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown on injured reserve on Saturday.
St. Brown, who was inactive in Week 1, has a knee injury. He didn’t practice this week and was ruled out for Week 2 against the Detroit Lions.
The Packers didn’t immediately replace St. Brown on the 53-man roster. The team did elevate fullback John Lovett and defensive lineman Willington Previlon from the practice squad for Week 2.
St. Brown caught 21 passes for 328 yards as a rookie in 2018 but missed the entire 2019 season with an ankle injury.
Under new rules in 2020, players can come off injured reserve in three weeks.
The Packers have just four receivers on the active roster: Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard and Malik Taylor.
