Herb Waters Coming Up, Makinton Dorleant Going Down

Joseph Bonham by Joseph Bonham

The Green Bay Packers have not only had some terrible play at cornerback this season, but they’ve also had a gang of injuries. Makinton Dorleant is the latest on that train.

Dorleant, who was the Packers’ return from injured reserve designee, will now end his season where he started it — on injured reserve.

Dorleant hurt his knee against Detroit and that will cost him whatever season remains.

The Packers are promoting converted receiver Herb Waters from the practice squad to take Dorleant’s roster spot.

Waters came to camp as an undrafted rookie out of Miami this year. He wasn’t converted to corner until after he signed onto the Packers’ practice squad after final cuts. So, obviously, we’d expect his contributions on defense to be minimal if any.

However, the depth is needed.

The Packers found themselves in a pickle after both Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins went down on Sunday. They ended up playing safeties Micah Hyde and Morgan Burnett in coverage.

The real question is why they haven’t played rookie Josh Hawkins. He was inactive for the Lions’ game.

Apparently, Hawkins is still being punished for giving up that 70-odd yard reception to Marvin Jones back in week 3. And frankly, that’s stupid.

At this point, whatever Hawkins does or does not do can’t be any worse than what Randall and Rollins are doing.

    I think the reason Hawkins was not activated the last few weeks is his special team play. Hawkins was called for several penalties during games and Dorleant showed he was a better gunner than Hawkins. Neither Hawkins or Dorleant were going to play very many, if any snaps as a corner, so get your better special team player on the field. Hawkins may get some playing time at corner, but who knows what the team has at corner with either except Whitt.

      Lol that would be cool. I don’t know how good he is anymore.

    I think it’s time for the position group that has the big $ being paid to it to step up (Matthews, Peppers, Daniels, and Perry). Th at are being paid to lift this defense up, it’s time they do so, or GTFO

      This is the offense to do it against.

    Time to tear down the dog house. Quit sending the walking wounded on the field when there are “healthy scratches” on the game day inactive list.

    Pack should stick Janis on D. He’s fast, shit all he’s gotta do is run with the WRs.

    • PF4L says:
      6 years ago

      That’s a great idea. I can tell you really thought that one out. He can’t run his own routes, but you think he can mirror other receivers routes, because he’s fast?

      Never stop trying.
