Ervin (foot) had 13 carries for 67 yards and 11 receptions for 84 yards over eight games in 2020. He also returned 10 kicks for 196 yards and five punts for 20 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Ervin held a small but defined role early in the season, but he dealt with a number of injuries and appeared in only four games after Week 4. His skill set fits well in the Packers' offense, and his return abilities gave him extra value for a team that had issues in that department. However, he will be a free agent this offseason, and it's hardly a guarantee the Packers bring him back for another year.

Ervin (foot) won't return to practice Wednesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Matt LaFleur called Ervin "day-to-day," but the Packers nonetheless aren't ready to open his 21-day window for evaluation at practice. On a more positive note for Green Bay, AJ Dillon (quadriceps) is expected to practice in some capacity Wednesday.

The Packers placed Ervin (foot) on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

It was reported Tuesday that Ervin was expected to shift to IR after suffering a foot injury in Week 13's win over the Eagles, so this news isn't surprising. Ervin will now miss at least the next three games, as Tavon Austin could step in to handle return duties over that time. With Ervin out, only Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams are currently healthy on the running back depth chart.

Ervin is expected to be placed on injured reserve after suffering a foot injury during Sunday's 30-16 win over the Eagles, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old missed the previous two games with a rib injury and played only eight total snaps before sustaining the foot injury Sunday. Ervin could be sidelined for a month, so a move to injured reserve would make sense to free up a roster spot. Tavon Austin could handle return duties and work in a gadget role while Ervin is unavailable.

Ervin (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ervin came into Sunday's contest with a 'questionable' tag due to a ribs injury, but it was an ankle injury that forced him out in the third quarter. Chandon Sullivan could get some work in the return game as long as Ervin remains sidelined.

Ervin (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old missed the past two games with the rib injury, but he'll be back on the field versus Philadelphia. Ervin should continue to handle return duties with Tavon Austin (coach's decision) inactive, at least for this week.

Ervin (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Eagles, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ervin maintained limited participation in practice for a second straight week, providing a chance for the 27-year-old to return to action Sunday. His gadget usage may remain intact if he indeed plays, but his kick and punt return duties are in question after the Packers signed Tavon Austin earlier in the week.

Ervin (wrist/ribs) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

Ervin made progress through his wrist and rib injuries by maintaining limited listings on each practice report this week. Still, the Packers will err on the side of caution and keep him on the sideline. While most of his gadget-like plays on offense will go to a variety of skill-position players, Ervin's return duties likely will be split between Chandon Sullivan (kickoffs) and Darrius Shepherd (punts).

Ervin (wrist/ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

This marks an improvement in Ervin's condition, as the 27-year-old didn't practice at all last week. If he manages to stay on the practice field all week, Ervin stands a good chance to play Sunday against the Bears.

Ervin (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Colts, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ervin left last week's win over the Jaguars in the first half and didn't return, and now he's poised to miss his third game of the year. The 27-year-old functions in a gadget role and also handles return duties, and his absence leaves just Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams in the Packers' backfield for Week 11.
