PACKERS PUT TWO MORE ON IR LIST

Green Bay Packers linebacker Christian Kirksey and wide receiver Allen Lazard have gone on injured reserve after both players got hurt in a victory over the Saints.

Kirksey left the 37-30 triumph in the first half with a pectoral injury, Lazard played throughout the game and had a career-best performance with six catches for 146 yards and a touchdown.

But the 2018 undrafted free agent from Iowa State showed up on the injury report this week. Packers coach Matt Lafleur said this week that Lazard hurt his core at some point during the game.

The injured reserve designation means that Kirksey and Lazard must sit out at least three games. The Packers (3-0) host the Atlanta Falcons (0-3) on Monday night and then have an off week.

Lazard’s absence could leave the Packers without their top two receivers for the Falcons game. Davante Adams missed the Saints game with a hamstring injury and is listed as questionable for

Monday, though he has practiced on a limited basis all week.

Inside linebacker is one area where the Packers don’t have much depth. With Kirksey hurt Sunday, the Packers inside linebacker who played the most snaps was Ty Summers, whose only previous experience had come on special teams.

Notable

The Bills activated Josh Norman off injured reserve, making the cornerback eligible to play at Las Vegas. Norman returned to practice this week after being sidelined with an injured left hamstring he hurt in practice last month.

The 49ers activated receiver Deebo Samuel from injured reserve and promoted running back Jamycal Hasty to the active roster. The Niners also announced that cornerback Jamar Taylor and linebacker Joe Walker have been elevated from the practice squad.

The Raiders have been fined $50,000 for allowing an unauthorized team employee into the locker room following a game this season.
