Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Samori Toure (knee) initially injured his knee on a fumbled punt return and then hurt it again when he had to jump high for a pass from quarterback Jordan Love and cam down awkwardly on the same leg in the Week 17 win over the Minnesota Vikings. "He'll be down for a while," LaFleur said. The 25-year-old was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and is unlikely to return this season, even if the Packers win in Week 18 against the Chicago Bears and advance to the postseason. He was spotted using crutches on Wednesday. Toure would be eligible to return only if Green Bay advances to the Super Bowl. The former seventh-rounder in 2022 wasn't anywhere near the fantasy radar this year, catching eight passes for 78 yards and no scores.
