Samori Toure News
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.
The Green Bay Packers signed wide receiver Bo Melton from the practice squad to their active 53-man roster on Monday and placed Samori Toure (knee) in a corresponding move. The team also signed safety Tyler Coyle to the practice squad. Green Bay is extremely thin at the receiver position heading into the Week 18 regular season finale against the Chicago Bears. Christian Watson (hamstring) and rookie Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) did not play in the Sunday night loss to the Minnesota Vikings, and rookie Jayden Reed (ribs) was injured during the game and is up in the air to play this Sunday. The 24-year-old Melton broke out with six catches for 105 yards and a touchdown against Minnesota and also had four grabs for 44 yards in the Week 16 win over the Carolina Panthers. If Watson, Wicks and Reed all miss Week 18, Melton will be a worthwhile streaming consideration in fantasy leagues.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Samori Toure caught just two of his three targets for 18 yards in the team's 38-20 win over the division-rival Chicago Bears on the road in Week 1 on Sunday. Toure finished the game fifth among the team's receivers in snaps played on Sunday, and all in all it was a disappointing first game of the 2023 regular season because of the fact that Christian Watson (hamstring) didn't even play for Green Bay. The 25-year-old still has room to grow this year and get more involved, but he's currently well off the fantasy radar in single-year leagues. A seventh-round pick in 2022, Toure finished his rookie campaign with just five receptions for 82 yards and one touchdown in 11 games (two starts).
