The Green Bay Packers\u2019 injury report confirmed that the the team will be without defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt against the Bengals in Week 6. In his absence, reports Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated, they will turn to rookie and fellow Georgia alum Warren Brinson for his first action this season.<\/p>\n

Brinson parlays hard work and preparation into his moment on game-time stage<\/h2>\n

The Packers drafted Brinson in the sixth round, 198th overall, as a fifth-year senior for the Bulldogs, a 6-foot-5, 315-pound menace on the defensive front.<\/p>\n

Via Huber, defensive line coach Demarcus Covington highlighted how Brinson\u2019s mindset and work ethic all season has materialized into a chance for real-game reps.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Warren\u2019s been doing a really good job within practice, whether it\u2019s on scout team or with us on defense, and in the classroom. He\u2019s been growing as a player in really making sure he\u2019s in tune with the game plan, whether he\u2019s active or inactive for the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sunday will be his first time as an active member of the gameday roster. Brinson is \u201csuper excited\u201d for the opportunity. Take it from his D-line coach, he\u2019s earned it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been approaching it as if he\u2019s going to play every single week, which is what he\u2019s supposed to do as a professional football player,\u201d Covington said. \u201cFor Warren, I think he\u2019s done a really good job in his approach to the game every single week and really done a good job of getting better in the run game and the pass game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Against a putrid Bengals offense, unable to get much going through the air or on the ground, it will be something of a soft landing for Brinson. A solid showing could win him opportunities down the road as a reserve whether or not Wyatt returns next week from his knee injury. So far, Huber observes, those reps have gone to undrafted DT Nazir Stackhouse, who like Wyatt and Brinson is a former Georgia Bulldog.<\/p>\n
