Three Things: Juwann Winfree, Rashan Gary, and Josh Myers vs. Kenny Clark Larry McCarren, Wes Hodkiewicz and Mike Spofford provide three things from Tuesday's practice in pads.

Expected to compete for role Winfree has impressed during OTAs and minicamp, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Winfree, a 2019 sixth-round pick by the Broncos, has suited up for just five career games. However, he has stood out during OTAs and looks like he has the potential to earn a roster spot. Green Bay's receiving depth chart is pretty set through the first four, but there is room to earn a role after that.

Inks futures deal with Green Bay Winfree signed a reserve/future contract with the Packers on Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 24-year-old was elevated to the active roster for two games this season but spent most of the season on the practice squad. Winfree is set to go through Green Bay's offseason program.

Slides back to practice squad Winfree reverted to Green Bay's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Green Bay found itself in a pinch, with injuries pressing its capacity at the receiver position throughout the week. However, Equanimeous St. Brown's activation from a concussion mitigated any kind of minor offensive role for Winfree. The Colorado product closed out the Week 14 win over Detroit with just one offensive snap, compared to 11 with the special-teams unit.

Elevates to active roster The Packers elevated Winfree to the active roster Saturday.

Impact Winfree's being called up due to concerns about the Packers' receiver depth, as Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) and Malik Taylor (hamstring) are both questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions. Winfree was also elevated in Week 10 against the Jaguars, but he didn't receive a target over seven snaps on offense.

Bumped back to practice squad Winfree reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Winfree garnered seven snaps on the offensive side and 10 more on special teams during a 24-20 win over the Jaguars on Sunday, providing the second-year man out of Colorado with his first game appearance of 2020. A sixth-round pick of Denver in last April's draft, Winfree could be activated again for a Week 11 matchup against the Colts if Darrius Shepherd (shoulder) and Allen Lazard (abdomen) prove unable to go at the receiver position.

Rises to active roster The Packers elevated Winfree to the active roster Saturday.

Impact Winfree will make his Packers debut Sunday against the Jaguars. The team needs the depth because Allen Lazard (abdomen) isn't quite ready, and both Equanimeous St. Brown (knee) and Darrius Shepherd (shoulder) are considered questionable. If neither are active, Winfree will line up as the No. 4 receiver, and that will come with even more responsibility if tight end Robert Tonyan (ankle) is out.

Links with practice squad The Packers signed Winfree (groin) to the practice squad Thursday.

Impact Winfree was selected in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by Denver, but the team didn't opt to retain him for 2020. The second-year pro will now get a chance to continue his development on Green Bay's practice squad.

OCTOBER 1, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Let go by Broncos Winfree (groin) was waived by the Broncos on Saturday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.comreports.

Impact The Broncos invested significant draft capital this past offseason in re-tooling its wide receiver corps, so it's not surprising to see the 2019 sixth-round pick hit waivers. Expect Winfree to possibly return to the team as part of the practice squad should he pass through waivers.

Still dealing with injury Coach Vic Fangio said Monday that Winfree (groin) is considered day-to-day, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Winfree was only seen practicing on the side during Sunday's session, so it appears his injury isn't serious. The 2019 sixth-round pick is firmly on the roster bubble as it stands, so his ability to get healthy quickly will help his chances for a 2020 roster spot.

Hampered by hamstring Winfree (hamstring) practiced on a side field Sunday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Since Winfree is still working out, this doesn't appear to be a long-term injury. The 2019 sixth-round pick is on the bubble for a roster spot after the team drafted Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler in April, so a quick recovery would be beneficial to his odds of making the squad.
