They signed two yesterday and their official roster is now at the 90 player limit:

Obviously, they could cut one easily to sign someone, but they aren't holding a spot for anyone.

IS he a receiver or a safety?Quote:

True, but historically they have gone with the ones they brought to camp, even with injuries. That's what made the signing of Jones last year at the end of TC feel so unusual. Of course, a few years ago they did it with QBs, but it isn't a very common move for them.Quote:

We also have 5 pre-season games which will not help the injury situation this year I'm afraid...
HOF Sun, Aug 7 @ Indianapolis
Fri, Aug 12 vs Cleveland
Thu, Aug 18 vs Oakland
Fri, Aug 26 @ San Francisco
Thu, Sep 1 @ Kansas City
Hopefully they keep their number on file
The extra game will be played mostly by guys who won't make the roster anyway. I can't see that it will be much of a concern. You can always have a Jordy Nelson type injury, but the 5-10 snaps thay might play can't cause too much worry.Quote:

They also did it with Tauscher in 2009. If the guys are still FA's, they'll likely be on the Packers' short list to call in case of emergency.Quote:
