Chris Brooks Placed on Injured Reserve with Ankle Injury

Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks has been placed on injured reserve after suffering an ankle injury that kept him out of practice all week. Brooks was previously ruled out for Week 5 against the Chicago Bears and will now miss at least the next four games, making Week 9 against New England his earliest eligible return date. Pierre Strong Jr. was added to the backfield mix to help fill the void.
