Grant is back!

[Tony Oday]

The #Packers and @RyanGrant25 have agreed to terms and the running back will sign with his old team this morning, per Grant.

[mmmdk]

Now official; Packers agree to terms with RB Ryan Grant.

[Joemailman]

Not sure what he's got left, but it makes sense. They need someone besides Green they can count on to know assignments. If nothing else, he should have fresh legs as he's been out for a while.

[sharpe1027]

I hope he plays with a chip on his shoulder. Welcome back.

[sheepshead]

cool

[denverYooper]

I'm assuming the Starks to IR announcement is forthcoming.

[Tony Oday]

Guess who's back, back again? Grant is back tell a friend.

[red]

good move

[Joemailman]

How come this isn't up on JSO yet? Don't they read Packerrats?

They don't follow the Packers very closely.

lol!

[mmmdk]

Grant had a 5.0 rushing avg. at Skins this season...8-)

[sheepshead]

Is there a "Ryan Grant" circa 2007 on somebody's bench?

[Kiwon]

It's time for Grant to make the most of this opportunity.

Which chance is this for him?

[Tony Oday]

Yeah ours! Grant is rested and mad...donkey Kong is going to get Granted this weekend! Go Pack!

[Guiness]

Interesting - he couldn't stick with the Redskins earlier this year. I wonder what he's got. You can also count me as surprised they didn't work out (or at least, no one we heard about) any other guys. Tim Hightower comes to mind.

My guess is he got the nod due to familiarity with Rodgers and the system. He can catch the ball, and I seem to remember him being good in pass pro.

[rbaloha1]

Nice move.

Fresh legs and pissed off -- great combo.

[Joemailman]

JSO is now reporting Grant is working out with the Packers, but that it's not clear if a signing is imminent.

[mmmdk]

Ryan Grant will celebrate his 30th birthday on sunday at Lambeau! Congrats!! :mrgreen:

Rumor : Ahman Green & Eric Torkelson now on way to Green Bay for workouts.

Travis Jervey rumored to be flying in, too.

Somewhere in southern Minnesota, Darrell Thompson's heart is beating fast.

[Pugger]

I wonder why Hightower is still umemployed seeing he is 3 years younger than Grant. One thing Grant can do is pass block so we can use that skill big time.

Then what?

of course

anyone else have a hangnail and need to go on IR?

maybe the reason that we didn't look or sign hightower is the fact that he sucks

Read this (possibly) for some insight on RB Tim Hightower ie 'his reconstructive knee surgery and recovery'. I'm trying to gleen more info. on that rehab and will post it as I may find it.

A big part of the Skins decision to cut Tim Hightower was the emergence of Rookie RB Alfred Morris.

GO PACK GO !

[denverYooper]

Now watch him go out and drop a bill on the Bears.

[Patler]

MM said at his press conference that Ryan Grant finished his business upstairs and walked into "the gym" where the team was, and received a standing ovation. He said that shows you what the locker room thinks of Ryan Grant.

I did not think that MM would share such personal information. I hope somebody from the press asked Grant if everything came out all right.

[gbgary]

Starks still on the roster. they put someone (forgot who) on ir with concussion.

Grant signing is cool and all, but I'd rather them sign a vet. o-lineman. Depth is thin and inexperienced.

Repped!

[King Friday]

Yawn.

Hey Ted...try to find a young capable RB this offseason. I've been hoping you'd do that, oh, for about 5 years now.

He kinda rummages through the scratch and dent bins rather than look at the showroom models.

Yup. It's like climbing a mountain and looking up to see an overhang with 10,000 tons of snow and knowing a mere fart might bring it all down on you. It's like walking on the outside of an old building on a narrow ledge.

A Dear GOD ! SIT U A TION !!

[Tony Oday]

Who needs a vet when we have Barclay!

Ryan Grant gets standing ovation from Packers teammates

Posted Dec 5, 2012

Mike Spofford ... packers.com staff writer

DETROIT LIONS Week 14 @ Lambeau Field!!

http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/3252/ryan-grant

Packers RBs coach Alex Van Pelt confirms that Ryan Grant will have only a minor role if active versus the Lions on Sunday.

"You have to play football to be in football shape, obviously," Van Pelt said. "So we're obviously not going to throw (Grant) out there this week and expect him to carry the load or anything like that. It'll be some spot duty this week and as he gets stronger and into football shape, he'll have more of a role."

Alex Green will handle the bulk of the carries in Week 14..... Dec 6 - 6:11 PM
