Packers activate Skyy Moore, Chris Brooks ahead Week 10 game vs Vikings

Green Bay - The Packers are bolstering their roster in preparation for their Week 10 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Running back Chris Brooks and receiver Skyy Moore have been activated from injured reserve, bringing valuable assets to the team. Brooks is the Packers' best pass protector from the backfield, often seeing action on third downs to shield quarterback Jordan Love.

His activation is particularly crucial against the Vikings' aggressive blitz-heavy defense. With starting running back Josh Jacobs sidelined due to a broken finger, Brooks offers an extra option in the run game. Skyy Moore, who returned from an ankle injury suffered against the Chicago Bears last week, is expected to excel as a return specialist.

Before his setback, Moore reignited the Packers' return game. The Vikings are known for their formidable special teams, particularly their coverage units on punts and kicks, but Moore's return could give the Packers a much-needed advantage. In Moore's absence, receiver Coleman Owen has taken on return duties, but he fumbled the opening kickoff in the team's game against the Carolina Panthers.

Additionally, tight end Josh Whyle has been placed on injured reserve following a concussion suffered in last week's game against the Carolina Panthers. Tight end Drake Dabney has been called up from the practice squad to fill the gap, providing some depth to the offensive line.
