The Green Bay Packers made a flurry of roster moves on Tuesday. Defensive lineman Dean Lowry was put on injured reserve following an injury he suffered against the Miami Dolphins. Wide receiver Bo Melton was claimed off of the Seattle Seahawks practice squad. Finally, defensive end Tipa Galeai was waived by the Packers. Galeai was in his third season with the Packers after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent in 2020.
