Packers Place OT Kyle Murphy On IR

The Packers announced that they have placed tackle Kyle Murphy on injured reserve. It’s another bad break for the Packers’ banged up offensive line. Kyle Murphy (vertical)

The Packers were forced to put Murphy in the starting lineup two weeks ago as longtime starters starters David Bakhtiari and Bryan Bulaga were sidelined with injury. That game marked Murphy’s first taste of real NFL action. Bulaga returned to the field on Sunday for the Packers’ OT win over the Bengals, but he re-aggravated his ankle injury during the game. Bakhtiari, meanwhile, did not dress.

On Monday, the Packers signed Ulrick John off of the Cardinals’ practice squad to take Murphy’s place on the roster. However, the Packers may need to make a more significant move to bolster their weakened O-Line.

Next up for the 2-1 Packers is a Thursday night contest against the Bears.
