Packers promote Equanimeous St. Brown to gameday roster for Week 4

The Green Bay Packers promoted wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown from the practice squad for Week 4 using the COVID-19 replacement option. 

The Green Bay Packers promoted wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown from the practice squad for Week 4 using the COVID-19 replacement option.

The team has defensive lineman Tyler Lancaster on the reserve/COVID-19 list, providing the opportunity to promote a player from the practice squad as a one-week replacement. St. Brown, who was already promoted to the gameday roster for Week 2, was the pick. He’ll help replace receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who was officially placed on injured reserve on Saturday.

St. Brown caught one pass for no yards in the Packers’ win over the Detroit Lions. A sixth-round pick in 2018, he has 29 catches for 445 yards and a touchdown over 25 career games.

St. Brown will join Randall Cobb, rookie Amari Rodgers and Malik Taylor as the primary backups behind expected starters Davante Adams and Allen Lazard at receiver.

Because St. Brown was promoted using the COVID replacement option, he is eligible to be promoted to the gameday roster one more time in 2021.

Packers elevate WR Equanimeous St. Brown from practice squad for Week 2

The Packers are bringing up WR Equanimeous St. Brown from the practice squad to the gameday roster for Week 2.

The primetime battle of the St. Browns is on at Lambeau Field.

The Green Bay Packers elevated receiver Equanimeous St. Brown from the practice squad for Week 2, meaning he’ll be active to face his younger brother, Amon-Ra St. Brown, a rookie receiver for the Detroit Lions.

St. Brown, a sixth-round pick of the Packers in 2018, returned to Green Bay on the practice squad to start 2021 after playing in 24 games over his first three NFL seasons.

It’s unclear if the Packers just want another receiver type available for Monday night or if there is an unknown injury situation. The team already carries six receivers on the 53-man roster, and all six were active in Week 1.

Teams are able to elevate up to two players from the practice squad to the gameday roster each week, and individual players are only able to be elevated twice in a season.

St. Brown was injured for much of training camp and didn’t play during the preseason.

Last season, St. Brown caught one pass for 15 yards in his only appearance against the Lions in Week 14. He finished the season with seven catches for 117 yards and a touchdown.

Packers bringing back WR Equanimeous St. Brown on practice squad

The Packers will bring back WR Equanimeous St. Brown on the practice squad.

The Green Bay Packers won’t be losing wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown after all.

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Packers are signing St. Brown to the team’s practice squad on Wednesday.

St. Brown, a sixth-round pick of the Packers in 2018, was waived Tuesday but went unclaimed on waivers. He will pick returning to Green Bay over an opportunity elsewhere.

St. Brown’s spot on the 53-man roster was lost this summer when the Packers traded for Randall Cobb and then he missed most of training camp with an injury. He didn’t play in any of the team’s three preseason games, while Malik Taylor – the winner of the sixth receiver spot – led the NFL in receiving yards.

St. Brown missed the entire 2019 season with an ankle injury but was on the field for 196 offensive snaps over 12 games for the Packers last season. He caught seven passes for 117 yards and a touchdown. The majority of his snaps came from the slot.

By returning to Green Bay on the practice squad, St. Brown has a chance to be elevated to the 53-man roster if there’s an injury to any of the six receivers ahead of him.

Over 24 career games, St. Brown has 28 catches for 445 yards and one touchdown.

Packers cut former Notre Dame Offensive Player of the Year

Say it ain’t so as second Notre Dame Packer gets cut on Tuesday.

The Green Bay Packers have now cut two former Notre Dame offensive stars from their roster as wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown has been released.  This comes after the Packers cut running back Dexter Williams Tuesday morning.

St. Brown was drafted 207th overall by the Packers in 2018 and appeared in 24 games for them since, pulling in 28 receptions for 445 yards and one touchdown.

St. Brown burst onto the scene for the Irish in 2016 when, as a sophomore, he hauled in 58 receptions for 931 yards and nine touchdowns.  As a resulted he was voted as the team’s Offensive Player of the Year that fall.

Notre Dame in the NFL: Highlights and photos of week 16 action

A look back at the best performances from Notre Dame football alumni in the NFL from week 16.

The NFL is winding down but that doesn’t mean that former Notre Dame stars aren’t still doing work in The League. This past week 16 showed that to be the case, with multiple past Irish stars putting up some big performances over the course of the weekend. Take a look highlights and pictures of the best games from ex-Notre Dame stars.

Watch: Aaron Rodgers throws trio of touchdown passes

Aaron Rodgers was on target early and often for the Green Bay Packers

A little bit of snow isn’t going to keep Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers from their appointed rounds.

The game was a little more than 15 minutes old and Rodgers already had his 41st and 42nd TD passes of the 2020 season.

First, of course, to Davante Adams, his 15th of the season.

And the second one to Equanimeous St. Brown.

And after an interception, Rodgers went back to Adams, who caught his 16th TD pass of the season.

 

Packers Week 14 injury designations: Darnell Savage listed as Questionable

The Detroit Lions (5-7) Week 14 opponent, the Green Bay Packers (9-3), have released their injury designations ahead of Sunday’s game.

The Detroit Lions (5-7) Week 14 opponent, the Green Bay Packers (9-3), have released their injury designations ahead of Sunday’s game and while 15 players showed up on this week’s injury report, just five are listed with an injury designation.

Here’s a look at the Packers’ full injury designations list.

Injury status

Player Position Injury Designation
Simon Stepaniak G Knee OUT
Equanimeous St. Brown WR Knee/Concussion Questionable
Malik Taylor WR Hamstring  Questionable
Jake Sternberger TE Concussion OUT
Darnell Savage S (starter) Groin  Questionable

Savage was healthy most of the week but popped up on Friday’s practice report with a groin injury. Like most late-week injuries, this situation is worth monitoring, especially considering Savage’s backup, safety Raven Greene, was recently placed on injured reserve.

If Savage can’t play, that’s a big boost for Lions’ T.J. Hockenson, who is currently the third most productive tight end in the NFL right now.

The Packers receiving group is banged up. In addition to St. Brown, Taylor, and Sternberger showing up on the injury report, starting wide receiver Allen Lazard was limited in practice all week with a core muscle injury, and starting tight end Marcedes Lewis was limited on Wednesday, didn’t practice on Thursday, before returning to a full practice on Friday. Both starters are expected to play — thus no injury designation — but they may be limited on the field.

Stepaniak, who tore his ACL in college last December, was just activated from the NFI list (Non-football injury) to the active roster this week. It may take some time before he is ready to return and has been ruled out for this game.

Missing a player who has been out most of the season may not seem like a big deal but the Packer’s offensive line is dealing with some injuries. Starting guard Lane Taylor has been on injured reserve the majority of the season, starting center Corey Linsley was just placed on injured reserve, while replacement starting guard/center Lucas Patrick and starting right tackle Rick Wagner were both limited all week.

If any of the Packer’s linemen can’t go, former Michigan Wolverines’ Ben Braden and Jon Runyan are next in line on the depth chart.

Packers activate WR Equanimeous St. Brown from IR to active roster

The Packers activated Equanimeous St. Brown from injured reserve to the 53-man roster on Saturday.

Help at wide receiver is arriving for the Green Bay Packers ahead of Sunday’s showdown with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Packers activated receiver Equanimeous St. Brown from injured reserve to the 53-man roster on Saturday.

St. Brown originally went on injured reserve with a knee injury on Sept. 19. The third-year receiver missed three games but returned to practice on Monday.

St. Brown caught 21 passes for 328 yards over 12 games as a rookie in 2018 but then missed his entire second season with a significant ankle injury. He hasn’t appeared in a regular-season game since Dec. 23, 2018.

St. Brown joins Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Darrius Shepherd and Malik Taylor as receivers on the Packers’ 53-man roster. Allen Lazard is on injured reserve.

The Packers did not activate linebacker Kamal Martin, who also returned to practice on Monday.
