Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson announced Tuesday that the veteran quarterback has been moved to injured reserve. The freshly signed Matt Flynn takes Wallace's place on the Packers' active roster.
Wallace exited Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles after suffering a groin injury midway through the first quarter. Packers coach Mike McCarthy named Scott Tolzien the starter immediately after the game, a sign the team had already moved on from Wallace -- healthy groin or not.
Aaron Rodgers is expected to remain sidelined this week and likely longer, making Flynn the backup behind Tolzien on Sunday against the New York Giants. The Packers also worked out John Skelton on Monday night, according to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport.
