JUWANN WINFREE NEWS

Set to miss 2024 season Winfree (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Colts on Tuesday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official website reports.

Impact Winfree was not designated to return, meaning that he'll spend the entirety of the 2024 season on IR unless he reaches an injury settlement with Indianapolis. The wide receiver is dealing with an unspecified injury and it's unclear when he'd be able to return to action.

Cut by Indianapolis Winfree was waived by the Colts on Saturday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 27-year-old wideout hadn't appeared in a game in almost a month, so it's no surprise that Indianapolis decided to part ways. Winfree appeared in seven games for the Colts this season, failing to haul in his only target and playing 90 total snaps (21 offensive and 69 on special teams).

Signs with Colts Indianapolis signed Winfree on Tuesday.

Impact Just a week after being cut from the Colts' practice squad, Winfree has now found his way onto their active roster. Through three games in 2023, he has played just five offensive snaps and has not drawn a target.

Moves back to practice squad Winfree reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Winfree was promoted to Green Bay's game-day roster for the third time this season after landing with the team's practice squad at the end of training camp. However, the 26-year-old failed to haul in his lone target while playing 13 offensive snaps behind fellow wideouts Allen Lazard, Romeo Doubs, Randall Cobb (ankle) and Amari Rodgers on Sunday. Now that the team has exercised his last remaining practice squad elevation of the season, it's possible the Packers choose to add Winfree to the active roster, as Cobb, Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and Christian Watson (hamstring) are all dealing with injuries.

Suiting up vs. Jets Green Bay elevated Winfree from the practice squad to its active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Jets.

Impact It will be the third week this season Winfree is active for the Packers and the last time he's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad before he would have to be signed to the team's active roster in order to play. The 26-year-old wideout has one reception for 17 yards on three targets through two games this season.

Reverts to practice squad Winfree reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Winfree was once again elevated from Green Bay's practice squad with Christian Watson (hamstring), Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and Samori Toure (coach's decision) all out against the Buccaneers on Sunday. Still, the fourth-year wideout failed to haul in either of his two targets while playing 13 of the Packers' 62 offensive snaps. Winfree also played three snaps on special teams, and he's now eligible for one more elevation while on Green Bay's practice squad this season.

Will fill in Sunday Green Bay elevated Winfree from its practice squad Saturday for Week 3.

Impact Winfree was also elevated ahead of Week 1 at Minnesota, where he played in 15 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps and caught his lone target for 17 yards. After Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, he will be eligible for only one more elevation from the practice squad before he would have to be added to the team's active roster to play further. Winfree could be in line for more opportunities than he saw at the Vikings if one or both of Christian Watson (hamstring) or Randall Cobb (illness) sits out Sunday.

Leads team in receiving Winfree was targeted six times and caught three passes for 41 yards in Friday's preseason game against the Saints.

Impact Winfree caught three passes in the Packers' preseason opener and followed that up by leading the team in both receiving yards and targets in the second exhibition contest. With one game remaining in the preseason, Winfree is seemingly seventh on the depth chart at his position, which leaves him right on the cut line.

Returns to practice Monday Winfree (groin) returned to practice Monday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Winfree was sidelined for Sunday's practice after reportedly picking up a groin injury during Friday's preseason opener. However, the issue doesn't appear to be serious, as the wideout has already returned to practice. Winfree caught all three of his targets for 27 yards against the 49ers and has garnered high praise from Aaron Rodgers this offseason. However, he remains firmly on the roster bubble, so expect the 2019 sixth-round pick to get plenty of work during Green Bay's remaining preseason contests.

Nursing groin injury Winfree suffered a groin injury during Friday's preseason opener and didn't practice Sunday, Pete Dougherty of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Impact Winfree drew the start Friday alongside Romeo Doubs and caught all three of his targets for 27 yards. However, he apparently picked up a groin injury as well. Since the trade of Davante Adams, the top of the Packers' wideout corps isn't as strong, but after the team drafted a trio of pass catchers and signed Sammy Watkins, the group is as deep as ever, which will make it difficult for Winfree to land a spot on the initial 53-man roster. The 2019 sixth-round pick appeared in seven games last season and caught eight of 13 targets for 58 yards. He's entering Year 3 in Green Bay's organization and has garnered high praise from Aaron Rodgers, but any extended absence will quickly drop him down the depth chart since he isn't as adept on special teams as the Packers' other depth wideouts.

Garners start in exhibition opener Winfree started Friday's preseason opener against the 49ers and caught three passes for 27 yards.

Impact Winfree did not stand out in Friday's contest, but he did make a nice catch off a tipped pass and hauled in the football all three times he was targeted. Of greatest import is the fact he -- along with Romeo Doubs -- was one of two receivers who opened the game on the field. The Packers held out a handful of wideouts, but the starting assignment confirms Winfree is in good standing among the group of receivers competing for a spot on the Packers' roster for Week 1.
