The Green Bay Packers (6-3) have activated running back Chris Brooks and wide receiver Skyy Moore from injured reserve ahead of their pivotal NFC North matchup against the Minnesota Vikings (6-2) on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on Fox.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the roster moves Saturday via X, formerly known as Twitter, as Green Bay looks to strengthen its offensive depth entering Week 10.
“Packers activated RB Chris Brooks and WR Skyy Moore off injured reserve ahead of Sunday’s game against the Vikings.”
The moves come at an important time for the Packers, who are seeking their third consecutive victory after defeating the New England Patriots 45-27 in Week 9.
Brooks' return provides additional depth in the backfield, particularly with starting running back Josh Jacobs ruled out after fracturing his right ring finger against New England. Jacobs underwent surgery Friday and is expected to return within the next few weeks.
Packers receive offensive reinforcements ahead of Vikings clash
Brooks, who has been recovering from an ankle injury, could help Green Bay manage its running back rotation alongside Kaleb Johnson and Pierre Strong Jr.
Meanwhile, Moore's activation gives the Packers another receiving option and a potential contributor on special teams. The former Kansas City Chiefs wideout had been sidelined with an ankle injury.
Both Brooks and Moore were listed as questionable on Green Bay's final injury report Friday, although their activations make them eligible to play Sunday.
The Packers also placed tight end Josh Whyle on injured reserve, elevated tight end Drake Dabney from the practice squad for Sunday's game and released wide receiver Coleman Owen, according to the team's official announcement.
Green Bay will look to build on its recent momentum when it hosts Minnesota at Lambeau Field in a matchup with significant implications for the NFC North standings.
