Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a contract with the Packers in August of 2025.
Placed on injured reserve
Niemann (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Niemann has been exclusively a special-teams contributor this season, logging 115 snaps for the Packers unit before suffering a pectoral injury in last Sunday's win over the Steelers. Niemann's move to the injured reserve makes room for linebacker Kristian Welch to be signed to the active roster. Welch will likely take over Niemann's special-teams snaps for the foreseeable future.
