Packers’ Jenkins, Tonyan, Watson coming off PUP list

Associated Press  

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers received some good news on their collection of players coming back from knee injuries. Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Sunday that offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins, tight end Robert Tonyan and rookie wide receiver Christian Watson are coming off the physically unable to perform list. “Going out there today in pads, with helmets on, it’s been a minute since I did that, so I feel like it’s a mental hurdle that you’ve got to get over,” Jenkins said. “Just trying to build up each and every day, and as long as it’s feeling good, continue to progress.” In other injury news, LaFleur said safety Dallin Leavitt will be out for “a while” after leaving the Packers’ 28-21 preseason loss to the San Francisco 49ers with a shoulder injury. Mason Crosby, the Packers’ kicker since 2007, is on the PUP list after undergoing what he described as a “minor scope on the knee” before training camp.
