Packers activate LB Christian Kirksey from injured reserve
The Green Bay Packers have activated linebacker Christian Kirksey from injured reserve and placed tight end/fullback John Lovett on injured reserveNOVEMBER 14, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Returns from IR The Packers activated Kirksey (pectoral) from injured reserve Saturday.
Impact Kirksey will return to the lineup Sunday against the Jaguars, and he should start at inside linebacker right away. In the two games this season where Kirksey played every snap, he totaled 12 tackles. The 28-year-old has a high floor as an IDP option, but his ceiling is capped, as he hasn't recorded a sack since the 2017 season.

Packers' Lewis ready to face his former team for first time

Coach optimistic about return Coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that he's optimistic about Kirksey's (pectoral) chances of suiting up for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Rob Demovsky of ESPN NFL Nation reports...
Impact Kirksey's status will be confirmed by Saturday, as the team will need to activate him from IR in order for the linebacker to be eligible to suit up Sunday. Wide receiver Allen Lazard (abdomen) is in the same situation. Kirksey had been off to a hot start prior to getting hurt in Week 3, opening the season with a pair of 12-tackle performances.

Won't return Thursday The Packers failed to activate Kirksey (pectoral) for Thursday's game against the 49ers, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kirksey returned to practice Oct. 28, signaling his impending return to the field. The Packers still have two weeks to take the veteran off injured reserve, so there's certainly a good chance for Kirksey to return this season. Kirksey racked up 12 tackles through the first two games before getting hurt, and he'll have an extra 10 days to prepare before his next chance to suit up in Week 10 against Jacksonville.

Packers dealing with plenty of adversity during busy week
This hasn’t been an ideal start to a busy week for the Green Bay PackersNOVEMBER 2, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Cleared for practice Kirksey (pectoral) has been cleared for practice, opening up a 21-day window for him to be taken off IR, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact While Kirksey's eligible to return to game action as soon as Sunday against the Vikings, Silverstein cautions that the Packers like to use practice as part of the rehab process and rarely activate players in the same week that they resume practicing. With that information in mind, it's more likely that Kirksey's next game action won't come until Week 9 in San Francisco. The linebacker had racked up 12 tackles in Weeks 1 and 2 before getting injured early in Week 3 against the Saints, so his return should deliver a major boost to a Packers defense that has struggled to stop the run.

Out for Thursday's practice Kirksey (pectoral) was unable to participate during Thursday's practice session.
Impact The long-time Brown remains doubtful for Week 4, after Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reported that Kirksey would "miss some time" with the injury he suffered against the Saints on Sunday Night Football. If Kirksey is indeed unable to go in an upcoming Monday night matchup against Atlanta, 2019 seventh-round pick Ty Summers would stand to see an uptick in defensive usage.

Could miss time Kirksey is expected to miss games with a shoulder injury he picked up in Sunday's 37-30 win over the Saints, but the injury isn't expected to require surgery, Rob Demovsky of ESPN....
Impact The nature of Kirksey's injury still isn't clear, but it's unlikely he plays in Week 4's matchup against the Falcons. However, he could have a chance to return after the Week 5 bye, but there's still no clear timeline or report on the nature of his injury. Ty Summers filled the void when he went down Sunday and will likely continue to do so until Kirksey returns.

Ruled out for rest of SNF Kirksey (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Saints.
Impact Kirksey got hurt in the first half and was ruled out at halftime. Ty Summers should continue to fill in for Kirksey, who will set his sights on a Week 4 return against the Falcons.

Hurts shoulder, return questionable Kirksey (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints.
Impact With the oft-injured Kirksey sidelined, Ty Summers is filling in at inside linebacker. Kirksey would be a big loss for Green Bay's run defense after racking up 12 tackles in each of the team's first two games this season.
