The Green Bay Packers faced mixed news regarding their defense ahead of their Week 4 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Defensive tackle Warren Brinson was placed on injured reserve, ruling him out for at least four games after injuring his groin during a recent practice. The Packers drafted Brinson in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Additionally, third-year linebacker Edgerrin Cooper was cleared from the injury report, passing concussion protocol, and Green Bay avoided the need to elevate him to the practice squad. However, the Packers are without defensive tackle Anthony Campbell, who suffers from an ankle injury, and guards Aaron Banks and Jacob Monk, who are dealing with knee/toe and quadricep issues respectively.
With Brinson sidelined and other defensive stalwarts also incapacitated, Green Bay will send 52 players to face the Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday.
