Packers long-snapper Taybor Pepper broke foot, headed to IR, per report

No, the injuries never cease in Green Bay.

The Green Bay Packers' injury woes didn't end with the bye week. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, long-snapper Taybor Pepper broke his foot during Thursday's practice and will land on injured reserve as a result. Another report from ESPN's Rob Demovsky states the team has begun working out available long-snappers today.

Pepper originally arrived in Green Bay this past January after signing a futures contract with the team. He suffered an injury in May, forcing his release. After a brief stint with the Baltimore Ravens, the Packers brought him back on Sept. 17.

The Packers have already dealt with injuries at long-snapper. In Week 3, Brett Goode suffered a severe hamstring tear that landed him on injured reserve. Green Bay subsequently released him with an injury settlement. Goode cannot re-sign with the team until after Week 10 due to that settlement.

At the moment, the Packers have no other full-time long-snapper on the roster. However, tight end Richard Rodgers can play the position in an emergency.
