Packers Place Corey Linsley On Injured Reserve
4 years agoGreen Bay Packers center Corey Linsley (knee) was placed on Injured Reserve on Saturday, meaning he'll have to sit out the next three games. In a corresponding move, the team elevated offensive guard Ben Braden from the practice squad to the active roster as a COVID-19 replacement. Tight end Dominique Dafney was also elevated from the practice squad to the active roster. Linsley's injury is a downgrade for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but fantasy managers should continue to treat him as a top-five fantasy signal-caller heading into a matchup with the Eagles in Week 13. Philadelphia's defense has actually allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game to the QB position in the last five weeks, but Rodgers has been on another level this season and cannot be benched.
