Packers.com: Like a lot of young players, RB Deshawn Wynn has had
some ups and downs during his first 2 seasons, starting four games
as a rookie in '07 before being released in training camp and
landing on the practice squad this year. After not getting many
opportunities this season since being signed back to the active
roster, Wynn made his most significant contribution last Monday at
Chicago and looks to build on that on Sunday vs. Detroit. With
Brandon Jackson sidelined against the Bears because of a wrist
injury, Wynn moved into Jackson's 3rd-down role and is expected to
do so again vs. Detroit with Jackson listed as doubtful for
Sunday. "Deshawn Wynn, he hasn't had a lot of opportunities this
year, but when he has, I really like the way he's stepped up,
particularly on special teams," Head Coach Mike McCarthy said.
"He's doing some things he hasn't done a lot of in the past. He
works extremely hard. "Also with the opponent squad, a lot of that
stuff sometimes goes unnoticed. But I think Deshawn Wynn is
clearly an ascending player in our program. He had the one
opportunity in Chicago, and I think he showed what he's capable of
doing."
