Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt (knee) won't return to Sunday's matchup against the Broncos. The 25-year-old, who had 2.5 sacks entering Week 7, the third-highest on the team, accounted for just one total tackle before he was carted off. The Packers injury list continues to pile up, as safety Darnell Savage and cornerback Eric Stokes (hamstring) also won't return, which is welcome news for Russell Wilson and company.
Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt (knee) was carted to the locker room during Sunday's meeting with the Denver Broncos.

The Green Bay Packers have agreed to terms with one of their first-round picks, former Georgia defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt. Wyatt gets a four-year deal, fully guaranteed, worth $12.86 million with a $6.533 million signing bonus. Signing the No. 28 overall pick was one of Green Bay's top priorities following the draft. This follows the team signing its other first-round pick, linebacker Quay Walker of Georgia, the No. 22 overall pick. After speculation that the Packers would finally spend a first-round pick on a wide receiver, they held true to their board and secured key pieces for their defense early. Now they've locked them in.
The Green Bay Packers drafted Georgia defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt with the No. 28 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft on Thursday evening. The Packers had two picks near the end of the first round, but they didn't take a wide receiver. Both of their selections, linebacker Quay Walker and Wyatt, are from Georgia as well. Wyatt stands at 6-foot-3, 304 pounds and is a gap-attacking nose tackle that is big and powerful at the point of attack. The 24-year-old defensive lineman finished his four-year collegiate career with 49 solo tackles (12 for loss), five sacks, three passes defensed, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
