The Packers placed kicker Mason Crosby, tight end Jace Sternberger and defensive lineman Treyvon Hester on the reserve / COVID-19 list.
They are among the 15 new league players added to the reserve / COVID-19 list on Thursday.
The new NFL reserve / COVID-19 category was created for players who tested positive for COVID-19 or were quarantined after being in close contact with an infected person. If a player falls into any of these categories, his club must immediately place him on the reserve / COVID-19 list, and that player is not counted on the active list.
Teams cannot comment on a player’s medical status other than referring to the roster status.
The Packers are counting on Sternberger, a third-round option in 2019, to play a bigger role with Jimmy Graham now in Chicago.
Sternberger missed the first eight games of his reserve rookie season injured with an ankle injury and played just six games. He didn’t make his first reception until the divisional round victory over the Seahawks and his first touchdown in the NFC Championship Game.
The Packers recruited Crosby in 2007, and since then he has remained in Green Bay. Crosby had a strong season last year, losing just two field goals and an extra point.
Hester signed with the Packers on May 1. He entered the league as a seventh-round pick for the Raiders in 2017, moved to the Eagles in 2018, and played 15 games for Washington last season.
He had eight tackles and one sack in 2019 and has 40 tackles and two sacks in his entire career.
