Packers DL Warren Brinson to miss a ‘significant amount of time’
Acme Packing Company • • sports
Key Points:
- Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Warren Brinson will miss a significant amount of time due to a new injury sustained during Wednesday’s practice, likely involving his groin in addition to a previous calf injury.
- Brinson has not played this season after injuring his calf during the Week 2 preseason warmups, and his recent injury further impacts the team's defensive line depth.
- The Packers currently have seven interior defensive linemen on their 53-man roster for their 3-4 defense, so Brinson’s absence does not create an immediate roster emergency but reduces depth.
- Karl Brooks is recovering from illness and is trending toward game-day availability, while Anthony Campbell has missed recent practices due to an ankle injury.
- If Brooks cannot play alongside Brinson and Campbell, the Packers may need to promote practice squad defensive lineman David Blay Jr. for their upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
