Backman (leg) was moved to the Packers' injured reserve list Wednesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
He's tending to minor injuries to both his knee and hamstring. Even if he had managed to stay healthy, Richard Rodgers, Jared Cook and Justin Perillo were still poised to begin the 2016 campaign atop Green Bay's TE depth chart.
