Packers' Tariq Carpenter: Removed from NFI
Carpenter (undisclosed) was participating during Packers camp Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Packers' Tariq Carpenter: Expected to play ILB in 2023
Carpenter has been practicing as an interior linebacker ahead of the 2023 season, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Head coach Matt LaFleur indicated Tuesday that Carpenter's shift from safety has been underway for a while, saying he's "been working [at linebacker] all offseason". At 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds, the 24-year-old may be better suited for his new role. As a safety during his rookie season in 2022, Carpenter logged just 16 snaps on defense while mostly operating as a special-teams option, but that could change in his sophomore campaign.

Carpenter (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.
Carpenter was a limited participant during each practice session this week with an abdominal injury, leaving his Week 5 availability against the Giants in jeopardy. The rookie seventh-round pick amassed just six special-teams snaps in Sunday's 27-24 overtime victory over the Patriots, but Carpenter and Dallin Leavitt are candidates to see increased action in London this weekend if fellow safety Adrian Amos (concussion) is unable to gain medical clearance.
