Packers activate Skyy Moore, Chris Brooks ahead Week 10 game vs Vikings
The Packers activated running back Chris Brooks and receiver Skyy Moore off injured reserve, making them available against the Minnesota Vikings.
GREEN BAY - Ahead of their Week 10 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, the Green Bay Packers bolstered their roster with the activation of two key players off injured reserve. Chris Brooks, the team's top pass blocker in the backfield, and Skyy Moore, known for his return specialist skills, are now available for the upcoming game.
Brooks, who often sees action on third downs to protect quarterback Jordan Love, is a crucial addition against Minnesota's formidable blitz-heavy defense. With Josh Jacobs sidelined due to a broken finger, Brooks offers a valuable backup option in the run game. Moore, who previously revitalized the Packers' return game before his Week 5 ankle injury, primarily contributes as a return specialist in this game.
In response to Moore's return, the Packers deactivated receiver Coleman Owen from the active roster. Although Owen showed promise in Moore's absence, he fumbled the opening kickoff against the Carolina Panthers. To replace him, tight end Josh Whyle was placed on injured reserve following a concussion he sustained in last week's game. Drake Dabney, on the other hand, was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster to provide additional depth to the Packers' offensive lineup.
