GREEN BAY - The team placed running back DeShawn Wynn on injured reserve because of an injury he suffered in last night's overtime win at Denver. And the Packers activated wide receiver Koren Robinson, who was recently reinstated by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell after a one-year suspension for a third violation of the league's substance abuse policy. Robinson has been practicing under a league exemption for more than a week. (Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
