Galeai suffered a hamstring injury back in Week 5 and was placed on injured reserve shortly after. The Packers then designated the 25-year-old to return to their active roster in November, but the team ultimately opted not to elevate Galeai, and he's since been relieved of his duties in Green Bay.

Packers' Tipa Galeai: Done for season
Galeai (hamstring) had his 21-day practice window close without being moved to the active roster, so he is now out for the remainder of the season, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Galeai was injured in the team's Week 5 game with the Giants, and he was ultimately placed on IR on Oct. 16. After missing the minimum four games, the team designated him to return Nov. 9.

Packers' Tipa Galeai: Moves to injured reserve
Green Bay placed Galeai (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.
Galeai had previously been ruled out for the Packers' Week 6 matchup against the Jets after presumably suffering the hamstring injury during the team's Week 5 loss to the Giants. He'll be forced to miss at least four games, but his prolonged absence shouldn't impact Green Bay's defense as he's played exclusively on special teams to start the season.

Packers' Tipa Galeai: Sitting out Week 6
Galeai (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Galeai appears to have suffered the injury during the Packers' Week 5 matchup against the Giants. He was unable to practice in any capacity throughout the week, so it's unclear when Galeai may be able to retake the field. He served exclusively on special teams through the first five weeks of the season, so his absence won't significantly affect Green Bay's defense.
