With the way the NFL’s cutdown rules work, the Packers will only be able to place two players on the injured reserve at the cutdown deadline with the “designated to return” status. If Green Bay puts more than two players on the injured reserve at cutdowns, the extra players will be put on season-ending injured reserve, like tackle Travis Glover.

Green Bay Packers rookie defensive end Barryn Sorrell has a sprained MCL, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky. Fortunately, Sorrell expects to be out only a few weeks, so he may not require an injured-reserve designation to start the season.

The Green Bay Packers have a big unknown on the defensive line before they play the Detroit Lions in Week 1. Rookie defensive end Barryn Sorrell exited the Packers' 23-19 preseason win over the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday with a knee injury.

Days after Ian Rapoport reported that the Green Bay Packers would make total sense as Micah Parsons' landing spot if the Dallas Cowboys decide to trade the All-Pro edge defender, Packers fans have gained another reason to believe that a deal is actually possible.
