Packers activate Robinson, place Wynn on IR

DeShawn Wynn's strange journey as a Green Bay Packers rookie has come to an end.

Despite the fact that rookie running back DeShawn Wynn can't stay healthy and will spend the rest of the year on injured reserve, Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson said he still has faith in him.

 

Wynn suffered shoulder and neck injuries on his first carry of the game in the Packers' 19-13 victory over the Broncos and probably would miss a good portion of the rest of the season, according to coach Mike McCarthy. The worst part of Wynn's injury was to a nerve in his neck, which is commonly referred to as a "stinger," although Thompson said there was also an injury to his shoulder joint.

 

"DeShawn Wynn did a nice job for us," Thompson said. "We thing he's going to be a good player for us. It's unfortunate that he got hurt. This is not a career-threatening thing. It's just something that's going to take time."

 

Thompson said he wasn't surprised by the performance of Ryan Grant, who rushed 22 times for 104 yards. He said the coaches have been preparing him every week for playing time because of the uncertainty of the team's various runners and that Grant has been progressing nicely.

 

"We like our guys," Thompson said. "We also like what DeShawn did for us and what he'll do in the future."

 

McCarthy also said that he still thinks Wynn has a promising future in Green Bay, but he acknowledged he will have to stay healthy.
