Sheppard spent camp with Green Bay and made the team\u2019s initial practice squad. Last week, with Matthew Golden, Savion Williams and Jayden Reed out with injuries, the Packers made the call to activate Sheppard to the 53-man roster, even though he never took an offensive or even special teams snap against the Detroit Lions. Now, Sheppard will return to the practice squad, along with fellow receivers Isaiah Neyor and Jakobie Keeney-James.<\/p>\n
For those keeping track at home, the last two weeks of practice squd moves have basically amounted to kicker Lucas Havrisik (previously on the 53-man roster) replacing Wood. Bartholomew was a straight swap for Herring at the cornerback position.<\/p>\n
The Packers\u2019 practice squad is now full, but the 53-man roster is down a body, as Sheppard left a vacancy. On top of that, defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt is expected to go on the injured reserve with an ankle injury, too. Green Bay has opened the practice windows of Reed, running back MarShawn Lloyd, defensive end Collin Oliver and defensive end Brenton Cox Jr. recently<\/a>. In all likelihood, Sheppard\u2019s roster spot on the 53, and the one that Wyatt will eventually create, will end up going to two of those players. Until then, Green Bay functionally has a 51-man active roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sheppard spent camp with Green Bay and made the team\u2019s initial practice squad.
