Now that we’re approaching the midway point of the regular season, players on various injury lists are now able to begin to return to practice and, eventually, return to game action. Here’s the list of players coming back to practice this week while on injured reserve or physically unable to perform list, as Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets:
- Cardinals G Max Garcia (PUP)
- Packers S Ibraheim Campbell (PUP)
- Packers TE Jace Sternberger (IR)
- Dolphins DT Robert Nkemdiche (PUP)
- Dolphins CB Cordrea Tankersley (PUP)
- Eagles CB Jalen Mills (PUP)
- Seahawks DT Demarcus Christmas (PUP)
Players on the PUP list are only required to miss six weeks of the regular season, so every player listed above with the exception of Sternberger could technically be activated this weekend. Sternberger has officially been designated as one of Green Bay’s IR/return players, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com (Twitter link). Because he was originally placed on IR, Sternberger — a third-round rookie — will be absent for at least two more weeks.
N’Keal Harry? I thought he’s practicing
He is. Two weeks he’ll be back
Man, every time I see #87 in a Packers uni I think it’s Jordy.
it’s not
Not sure Sternberger can really help the Packers this season. Seems like a guy who will really benefit from time in an NFL weight room.
