Packers transactions (Oct. 10-16)

Packers announce roster moves

The Green Bay Packers have signed wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown from the practice squad to the active roster and signed cornerback Quinton Dunbar to the practice squad.

The transactions were announced Oct. 13 by General Manager Brian Gutekunst.

St. Brown has been on the Packers’ practice squad all season and has appeared in three contests as a gameday elevation, recording one reception and two special teams tackles.

Dunbar, a 6-foot-2, 201-pound, seventh-year player out of the University of Florida, was originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the Washington Football Team in 2015 to play wide receiver, but was converted to cornerback two weeks into his rookie training camp.

After five seasons with Washington (2015-19), he was traded to the Seattle Seahawks before the 2020 season. In 2021, Dunbar spent part of the offseason and training camp with the Detroit Lions and had a stint on the Arizona Cardinals’ practice squad.

Overall, he has played in 64 games with 31 starts, recording 171 tackles (152 solo), 10 interceptions, 40 passes defensed, five tackles for a loss, a sack, a fumble recovery and a QB hit. Dunbar has also played in one postseason contest (2015), recording five tackles (all solo) and two passes defensed vs. Green Bay.

He will wear No. 34 for the Packers.
