The Green Bay Packers placed wide receiver Shaun Bodiford and tight end Tory Humphrey on injured reserve Wednesday and signed safety Atari Bigby from their practice squad.
Bodiford injured his leg and Humphrey hurt his hamstring in the Packers' victory at Minnesota on Sunday. The Packers signed Bodiford, who was released by Detroit, last month after losing wide receiver Koren Robinson to a league suspension and wide receiver Robert Ferguson to a foot injury.
Bigby, a five-foot-11, 211-pound safety out of Central Florida, is a first-year player who made his debut for the Packers on Christmas Day last year against Chicago. After playing in NFL Europe, he was re-signed by Green Bay in September and spent the first 10 weeks of 2006 on the practice squad.
The team also signed tackle Orrin Thompson to take Bigby's place on the practice squad.
Thompson, a 6-6, 322-pound tackle out of Duke, had spent most of his career on the Miami practice squad.
