The Green Bay Packers returned one of their versatile tight ends from injury.
Second-year tight end Dominique Dafney passed his physical and came off the PUP list in time to practice on Monday.
Dafney, who signed to the Packers’ practice squad in October last season, ended up playing in five games as a first-year player. He caught two passes for 26 yards and a touchdown and made two tackles on special teams.
The Packers originally placed Dafney on the PUP list with a knee injury on July 28.
A match as a move tight end or H-back for Matt LaFleur’s offense, Dafney still has a good chance of making the initial 53-man roster, especially with Jace Sternberger suspended for the first two games of 2021.
The Packers have returned Dafney and tight end Josiah Deguara from injury over the last week. The team also signed Daniel Crawford, another H-back option.
