Packers Injury Report: How will Green Bay use its open roster spots?

The Green Bay Packers currently have a 51-man active roster, with a full practice squad. Excluding defensive lineman Javon Hargrave, who will likely go on IR soon due to a season-ending Achilles injury, the team functions with 51 healthy players. The injury situation for the Packers includes WR Skyy Moore (groin), DL Jonathan Ford (calf), CB Keisean Nixon (groin), CB Benjamin St-Juste (hamstring), and CB Benjamin St-Juste (hamstring).

If these players are unable to suit up for the upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys, the team will need to bring in reinforcements from either the 53-man roster or the practice squad. Potential reinforcements include recently active players Savion Williams and Jordon Riley, as well as practice squad players David Blay Jr. and Domani Jackson.

The Packers have been thin at the cornerback position this year, with two injuries at that position leading to a need for additional players.
