Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jake Kumerow had a fantastic preseason and looked like he could potentially be a legitimate contributor during the regular season for the Packers.

However, he injured his shoulder at the end of a touchdown in one of Green Bay's preseason games and was ultimately placed on the injured reserve list.
