The Packers are preparing for their matchup against the Jets on Sunday. There were a couple of roster moves made Saturday which often can give some hints on the status of injured players. Saturday’s roster moves show promising news for Packers star player Rashan Gary.
Roster Moves Show Promising News For Rashan Gary
The Packers didn’t elevate La’Darius Hamilton or Kobe Jones from the practice squad. Probably a good sign for Rashan Gary’s availability tomorrow.

The Packers are already thin at outside linebacker. With Rashan Gary questionable with a toe injury, there was a question whether the Packers would call up some help from the practice squad. The Packers did not end up calling anyone up. La’Darius Hamilton and Kobe Jones will stay on the practice squad this week. This is positive news for Gary. This points to him playing in some capacity on Sunday. Even if it isn’t in his full capacity, something is better than nothing with a talent like Gary.
Great News For The Packers
The Packers need to put pressure on Zach Wilson this week. Rashan Gary is the team leader in sacks and is a big part of the pass rush. Even him being able to play only some of the snaps would be a benefit to the Packers. The team may still call on rookie Kingsley Enagbare to take some pressure off of Gary but these roster moves point to him playing. He did practice in a limited capacity all week which was another positive going into the weekend. Hopefully Gary will add to his season sack total in a big way on Sunday. He also draws a lot of attention which allows Preston Smith and Kenny Clark more one on one matchups. Having him on the field is imperative for the Packers defense.
There has not been a lot of positive news lately for the Packers so fans will take anything they can get. It was great to see this news that points to Rashan Gary playing on Sunday. How much Gary plays will be something to watch on Sunday. Regardless of how much he plays, his leadership will be felt on the field on Sunday if he plays which is also very important to this team.
