Abbrederis signed a reserve/future contract with the Lions on Monday, The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Packers plucked Abbrederis out of the fifth round of the 2014 NFL Draft, but the Wisconsin product only tallied 10 receptions across three seasons before parting ways with the team last October by means of an injury settlement. However, with both Anquan Boldin and Andre Roberts set to hit free agency in the offseason, Detroit could represent a viable landing spot for Abbrederis to make greater on-field contributions, should he ultimately crack the final roster in advance of the 2017 campaign.

Abbrederis (quadriceps) will be waived by the Packers after reaching an injury settlement with the team on Thursday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

The second-year wideout was placed on injured reserve last week after suffering a thigh contusion earlier in the year. In two seasons with the Packers, Abbrederis recorded 10 receptions for 119 yards in 15 games. The 25-year-old has dealt with injuries throughout his career but will now look to return to full health in the hopes of finding his way onto another team's roster or practice squad in the future.

The Packers placed Abbrederis on injured reserve Monday due to a thigh contusion, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite a spate of injuries within the Packers' receiving corps that past two seasons, Abbrederis has been unable to make inroads, totaling 10 catches (on 18 targets) for 119 yards across 15 games during that span. With his placement on IR, he could be activated for the final two games of the season, but running back Eddie Lacy (ankle) and Sam Shields (concussion) are better candidates to get the call.

Abbrederis (thigh) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bears, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Abbrederis did not participate in practice Wednesday after being limited Tuesday, ultimately leading to his inability to play Thursday. Ty Montgomery figures to serve as the Packers' primary kick returner, while Abbrederis' next opportunity to return will come Week 8 against the Falcons.

Abbrederis (thigh) was limited in practice on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Abbrederis continues to be hampered by a thigh injury, which has caused him to miss significant time all season. The wideout took the field for one play in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys but aggravated the injury on that very play, ending his day. His limited participation in Tuesday's practice makes him questionable for Thursday's tilt with the Bears, although if he does play, expect his reps to be strictly monitored.

Abbrederis is dealing with a thigh injury, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Abbrederis was only on the field for one snap Sunday against the Cowboys, and went down on that very play. The specifics surrounding his injury are unclear, but the Wisconsin product is questionable to play against the Bears on Thursday night.

Abbrederis did not play a snap on offense in Sunday's victory over the Lions, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com.

EDGE Analysis

Abbrederis looked poised to have a role in the Packers' offense following a strong training camp, but he has made just one catch through three weeks and has barely seen the field, tallying just 20 snaps in all. His role could conceivably change later this season, but he will have to be on the field far more often to even have a shot at making a fantasy impact.

Abbrederis was not targeted in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Abbrederis' opportunities to contribute Sunday were almost nil, as he was on the field for just six of the Packers' 71 offensive plays. That paced him fourth among Packers receivers, but a distant fourth, as No. 3 receiver Davante Adams saw more targets -- seven -- than Abbrederis did snaps.

Abbrederis caught one pass for eight yards in Sunday's victory over the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Abbrederis had an outside shot to open the season as the Packers' No. 3 receiver given his placement on the depth chart, but any uncertainty regarding the situation was erased Sunday when fellow reserve wideout Davante Adams totaled 59 snaps to Abbrederis' 14. The 14 plays were fourth among Packers wide receivers, but fifth-string receiver Ty Montgomery saw 11 snaps of his own, so it would appear Abbrederis is far closer to being surpassed on the receiver hierarchy than he is to climbing up it.

Abbrederis is listed as a second-string wide receiver on the Packers' depth chart in advance of Week 1.

EDGE Analysis

Abbrederis has climbed up the receiver ladder for the Packers over the last 12 months, going from the practice squad heading into Week 1 of 2015 to second string on the depth chart going into Week 1 this year. Fellow wideout Davante Adams is also listed as a second-string receiver, and it's not yet clear who will open as the third receiver behind starters Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb. Adams seems to be the favorite having started 12 games last year while Nelson was out, but Abbrederis has risen through the ranks thanks to his dependability, and could have one more ascent left in him.
