Packers' Kingsley Enagbare: Getting work in
Rotowire
Enagbare (knee) participated in OTAs on Tuesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Enagbare was able to avoid a significant injury, which was originally believed to be an ACL tear, during the Packers' wild-card win over the Cowboys last season. It's not clear to what level he participated, and if he did team or individual drills. However, the fact that he was on the field this early in his recovery is good news for the South Carolina product.

Packers' Kingsley Enagbare: Unable to play Saturday
Rotowire
Enagbare (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's divisional-round matchup with the 49ers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers official website reports.
Enagbare suffered an ACL injury in the team's 48-32 wild-card win over the Cowboys, and his absence Saturday comes as no surprise. With Enagbare unavailable, Brenton Cox is a candidate to see an uptick in usage at outside linebacker against the 49ers.

Enagbare suffered a knee injury after logging a solo tackle during Sunday's playoff victory. Lukas Van Ness and Brenton Cox should be in line for expanded roles during next week's divisional-round game versus the 49ers if Enagbare's injury is as serious as it's initially feared to be.

Packers' Kingsley Enagbare: Records three sacks as rookie
Rotowire
Enagbare registered 31 tackles (18 solo), three sacks and three pass deflections over 17 games in the 2022 season.
The fifth-rounder did not open the season in a key role, but his playing time picked up after fellow pass rusher Rashan Gary (knee) was lost for the season, and he played at least half the defensive snaps in all but one of his final eight appearances. Enagbare heads into 2023 behind both Gary and Preston Smith on the depth chart, but should Gary's absence extend into the regular season, Enagbare could again play an expanded role.
