The Packers did not announce a corresponding move on the 53-man roster to fill Brinson's spot.
After the Buccaneers game, edge defender Micah Parsons, nose tackle Jordon Riley, edge defender Collin Oliver, receiver Savion Williams and tight end Luke Musgrave will be eligible to return to the 53-man roster from the reserve lists. Parsons, Riley and Musgrave are on the physically-unable-to-perform list, and Oliver and Williams are on injured reserve.
However, none of the five has been designated to return, allowing them to practice while remaining off the 53-man roster. The Packers have been free to open that window on the three PUP players since Week 2.
Once the Packers designate any of the five to return, a 21-day practice window will open, allowing them to remain off the 53-man roster until they are activated.
