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.

Kumerow was activated earlier this month, and on Sunday against the New York Jets, he scored the first touchdown of his career:

Gotta love the little juke move to evade the defender to free up a path to the end zone.

Kumerow then signed with the New England Patriots in October 2017, but was waived a couple of weeks later. He then landed with the Packers last December and stuck.

Green Bay came into Sunday's action with a record of 5-8-1. The Packers were eliminated from playoff contention with their loss to the Chicago Bears last weekend, and to add insult to injury, they had to watch the Bears celebrate an NFC North division title.
