TYLER ERVIN NEWS

Limited for second straight session Ervin (wrist) was limited during the Packers' practice session Thursday.

Impact Ervin has been unavailable for game action since Oct. 5, after re-emerging on the injury report with a wrist issue following the Packers' Week 5 bye. He had accumulated just 69 scrimmage yards on nine offensive touches prior to the injury, though Ervin was heavily involved in the special-teams realm with 10 combined punt-return and kick-return attempts over the first quarter of the regular season. Back-to-back limited sessions indicate Ervay may be activated in the near future, as he's been unable to piece together consecutive practices since suffering the injury.

Set to miss another game Ervin (wrist) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Texans.

Impact After missing the entire week of practice, it's not surprising that Ervin will miss a second straight game. The 27-year-old has a gadget role on offense, but his kick and punt return duties will be handed over to either Chandon Sullivan or Josh Jackson.

Sitting out Week 6 Ervin (wrist) won't play Sunday against the Buccaneers, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ervin doesn't play much on offense, but his presence will be missed on special teams, as he usually returns both kickoffs and punts. In Ervin's absence, Chandon Sullivan and Josh Jackson are projected to take on return duties on kicks and punts, respectively.

Sits out practice Wednesday Ervin (wrist) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Ervin has been a gadget for the Packers' offense, recording 43 yards on four carries and reeling in five passes for 26 yards through the first four games while also contributing as a kick and punt returner. He's trending in the wrong direction with a DNP to start the week, but he has two more practices to get on the field. If he can't play Sunday versus the Buccaneers, expect Chandon Sullivan and Josh Jackson to contribute in the return game.

Plays regular role in Week 4 Ervin was targeted twice and had one reception for eight yards in Monday's victory over the Falcons.

Impact There was a chance Ervin could see more action Monday with the Packers down a couple receivers, but he ended up playing 23 snaps just like he did in Week 3. The Packers figure to continue using him to distract opposing defenses, but he will presumably remain limited to no more than a few touches per game.

Ready to go in Week 4 Ervin (wrist) is active for Monday's Week 4 contest against Atlanta.

Impact Ervin got in a full practice Saturday so his ability to play Monday night doesn't come as a surprise. He has only four carries and four receptions through three games this season, and with both Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams healthy Ervin's touches are likely to remain limited.

Deemed questionable for Monday Ervin (wrist) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Falcons.

Impact There isn't too much concern about Ervin's status, as he was a full participant Saturday and should be available Monday night. The Packers have deployed Ervin in a gadget role this year, as he's rushed four times for 43 yards and caught all four targets for 18 yards so far this year.

Three touches in Week 3 Ervin had one carry for five yards and two receptions for eight yards in Sunday's 37-30 victory over the Saints.

Impact Ervin showed no effects of the head injury he suffered Week 2 and finished second among Packers running backs in snaps. While he was on the field more than fellow backup Jamaal Williams, the latter remains the No. 2 option in the backfield behind Aaron Jones. Ervin should continue getting a few chances to make plays on a weekly basis, though.

Passes concussion protocol Ervin has cleared the league's concussion protocol, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ervin was checked out for a concussion during Week 2's win over the Lions, but it appears he avoided a head injury. The 26-year-old gadget RB should be ready for this Sunday's matchup versus the Saints, and he should resume his typical kick and punt return duties.

Leaves game Sunday Ervin was placed in concussion protocol during Sunday's game against the Lions, Pete Dougherty of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Impact It's unclear when Ervin suffered the knock, but he'll need to gain clearance from independent NFL doctors before returning to action. As long as Ervin is sidelined, look for Chandon Sullivan to take over on kick returns and Josh Jackson on punt returns.

Makes plays in Week 1 Ervin had three carries for 38 yards and caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's victory over the Vikings. He also added 18 yards on a kick return.

Impact Ervin was on the field for just 14 offensive snaps Sunday, but the Packers made a point to get him the ball when he was out there, and he responded by averaging over 10 yards per touch. He is something of a gadget player, but he has shown playmaking skills -- both on offense and special teams -- since joining the team midway through last season, and he figures to continue seeing a few chances each week to put them on display.

Co-third on first depth chart Ervin is listed as the No. 3 running back, alongside AJ Dillon, on the unofficial depth chart released by Green Bay on Monday night.

Impact Ervin is listed behind both Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams heading into Week 1, so he's not positioned to factor in much on offense early on. As rookie second-round pick AJ Dillon continues to develop, it wouldn't be a surprise for Ervin to eventually move down to the No. 4 role. The 26-year-old is also notably listed as the Packers' top return man, a role which will provide a value boost in fantasy leagues that award points for special-teams yardage.
