When the Green Bay Packers play the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football, they will have a standout defender back. The Packers’ defense, which will be facing quarterback Patrick Mahomes on Sunday night, needs to be at full strength.
To remain in the running for the playoffs, the 5-6 Packers must defeat the Chiefs. The Packers were hampered by injuries early in the season, but they are now beginning to recover.
According to a statement by the Packers, safety Darnell Savage has been activated off the injured reserve Saturday.
In October, Savage’s calf injury worsened during the Packers’ game against the Broncos. Since the Broncos game, he has not been in.
Before Savage’s injury, the Packers’ defense lacked depth at safety. For the Packers, who intend to make a late-season push for an NFC Wild Card berth, Savage’s addition to the starting lineup in December is crucial.
