Green Bay - As expected, the Packers placed defensive tackle Johnny Jolly on injured reserve this evening.
The team has not yet signed another player to take his place on the 53-man roster.
Jolly, 24, had started seven of the Packers' first 10 games at right defensive tackle before hurting his shoulder in the Nov. 18 victory over Carolina. An MRI last week came back "not good" according to coach Mike McCarthy.
Also, the Packers signed defensive tackle Alfred Malone to the practice squad and released tight end James Adkisson.
Malone (6-4, 308) spent the 2005-06 seasons with the Houston Texans after playing collegiately at Troy. He appeared in four games and totaled 13 tackles.
