Green Bay Packers make final roster moves ahead of Sunday

The Green Bay Packers have made their final roster moves ahead of a Sunday night matchup matchup against Minnesota. The Packers are set to face the Vikings at 7:20 p.m. at Lambeau Field.

Green Bay activated punter Corey Bojorquez, guard Ben Braden, linebacker Oren Burks and tight ends Marcedes Lewis and Tyler Davis from the COVID-19 reserves list. Additionally, defensive lineman RJ McIntosh was moved from the COVID-19 list to the practice squad.

Aside from COVID-related moves, the Packers also elevated defensive lineman Abdullah Anderson and receiver David Moore from the practice squad to the active roster. They signed kicker Elliott Fry to the practice squad and released linebacker Aaron Adeoye.

A former South Carolina Gamecock, Fry went undrafted in 2017. He has had brief stints with several NFL teams, most recently the Falcons and Chiefs. He is 4-for-5 on field goal attempts in his career, with a long of 44 yards.

The Packers are currently 12-3 and in possession of the top seed in the NFC, should the playoffs start today. Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers is coming off of a torrid month in December, passing for 811 yards, 10 touchdowns and no interceptions in three games.

Many believe this could be the year Rodgers breaks through for his second career Super Bowl. The Packers currently have the second-best odds behind the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Vegas Insider.

Rogers won his first and only Super Bowl in 2010 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since then the quarter back has never been back, losing three times in the NFC Championship.

Should Green Bay secure the top seed, it would receive a first round bye. Given that Rodgers has been dealing with a toe injury of late, an extra week of rest could be beneficial. After making its final roster moves for this week, the Packers are ready to take on Minnesota in their quest to finish first.
