Green Bay placed Brinson (calf/groin) on injured reserve Saturday.
Brinson hurt his calf during the preseason and didn't suit up for the Packers' first three games. He logged a limited practice this Wednesday but slipped and injured his groin, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, and was then a DNP both Thursday and Friday. Though Brinson's placement on IR means the Packers now have an open roster spot, they didn't add anyone to the active roster or elevate any players ahead of Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay, so they'll enter that contest with a 52-man roster.

Packers' Warren Brinson: Lands with Green Bay
Rotowire
The Packers selected Brinson in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 198th overall.
Brinson was a four-star recruit and landed at Georgia alongside Jalen Carter on the defensive line. Like many defensive players with the Bulldogs, Brinson's stats are muted due to the depth of the team. However, he has a sturdy frame and should have a chance to make Green Bay's roster out of training camp, even if he doesn't have the opportunity to make an immediate impact.
