Packers Rookie CB Placed on IR With Designated to Return to Treat PTSD After Heartbreaking Loss of Girlfriend

Green Bay, WI – August 27, 2025 – Roster cutdown day in Green Bay was supposed to be about football decisions, but one move carried a weight far beyond the game. As the Packers finalized their 53-man roster, a young player’s story reminded everyone of the humanity behind the helmets.

Shockwaves had already rippled through the NFL earlier this month with the sudden passing of Lina Bina, a beloved online personality known as MissJohnDough. At just 24, she reportedly died from complications following her third BBL surgery, leaving fans and players across the league in mourning.

Inside Lambeau Field, the grief hit home. Coaches and teammates who had watched a rookie fight for every snap now saw him confronting an even greater battle — one of heartbreak and loss.

That rookie is Tyron Herring, an undrafted cornerback out of Delaware. On Tuesday, Green Bay officially placed him on Injured Reserve with a designation to return, specifically to give him time to treat PTSD after the devastating loss of his girlfriend.

Herring’s climb to the NFL had already been a testament to resilience — three seasons at Dartmouth, a transfer to Delaware, and All-CAA honors that put him on the league’s radar. Throughout his journey, Lina had been his constant motivator, celebrating his successes and lifting him through setbacks.

“She believed in me when few did, supported every transfer, every extra workout, and every dream I chased. I finally put on an NFL jersey, but by the time I made it… she was already gone,” Herring shared quietly, with teammates rallying around him in the locker room.

The news of Lina’s passing quickly spread through Packers Nation. Players remembered her bright presence and unwavering pride, while fans reflected on the unseen struggles that even the toughest competitors carry.

For the Packers, placing Herring on IR was more than a roster move — it was an act of compassion. And for Herring, when the day comes that he steps back onto the field, every play will be a tribute to love, loss, and the strength to keep going.
