Packers | Two more Packers activated Tue Aug 9, 06:30 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Ty Montgomery (ankle) and LB Sam Barrington (foot) were activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list Tuesday, Aug. 9. They will practice on a limited basis.
| Footballguys view: Montgomery is a player to watch in dynasty leagues. He's competing with guys like Jared Abbrederis and Jeff Janis to be the team's no.3 WR behind Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb. We like his run-after-the-catch ability, but this ankle injury has put him behind in the competition. |

Packers | Sam Barrington staying patient Tue Jun 21, 07:35 PM
Green Bay Packers LB Sam Barrington (foot) said it has taken an 'immense amount of patience' to rehabilitate from a serious foot injury he suffered last season. Barrington said he used the time off to find ways to get better. The expected starting middle linebacker is still focusing on growing as a player. Barrington acknowledged that whether or not he starts will be based on if he prepares himself the right way.
| Footballguys view: Barrington had somewhat of a breakout season in 2014 before suffering this foot injury in 2015. He's almost back in action, but needs to prove that he can stay healthy after twice being placed on Injured Reserve since he came into the league as a run-stuffing seventh-round pick in 2013. |

Packers | Blake Martinez is a quick learner Tue Jun 7, 01:15 AM

He definitely is a very instinctive player,' head coach Mike McCarthy said Monday, June 6.

Packers | Friday injury report for Week 1 Fri Sep 11, 04:38 PM
Green Bay Packers LB Sam Barrington (ankle) and S Morgan Burnett (calf) are questionable for Week 1 against the Chicago Bears. Barrington was limited in practice Friday, Sept. 11, while Burnett sat out.
| Footballguys view: Burnett is one of the leaders of the defense and Barrington was slated to line up next to Clay Matthews inside. The Packers can probably overcome missing these players, but it would take an edge off the upside of their D/ST against the Bears. |

Jones and Shields didn't practice Friday, Oct. 17. Boykin, Lattimore and Williams were limited, while the others practiced in full. The Packers didn't actually practice Friday, so the designations are an estimation.
| Footballguys view: Even if Boykin is active, Davante Adams appears to have seized the #3 wide receiver role for good. |

He's got a good size/speed combination He ran a 4.35 40-yard dash at his pro day and measures in at 6'3" 215 pounds. |
