The Packers waived Starkey (calf) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Starkey will now be eligible to sign elsewhere in the league when healthy, rather than having to spend the entire 2024 season on IR with Green Bay. The severity of the undrafted rookie out of Samford's calf injury remains undisclosed.
Starkey (calf) reverted to Green Bay's injured reserve Thursday after clearing waivers, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Starkey joined the Packers on July 19 after participating in the team's rookie training camp. He sustained the calf injury Tuesday, and after going unclaimed off waivers, he will now be forced to miss the entire 2024 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Green Bay.
Starkey (calf) was waived by the Packers with an injury designation Wednesday, Bill Huber reports. Starkey was working to make Green Bay's final roster as an undrafted free agent before suffering the injury. Assuming he clears waivers, the Samford product will revert to injured reserve, which would force him to miss the 2024 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team.
Starkey did not participate in Tuesday's practice due to a calf injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Starkey signed with the Packers in July after participating in Green Bay's rookie minicamp. He's a long shot to make the 53-man roster, and missing extended time due to injury decreases those chances even more.
