    Packers sign two WRs to practice squad

    The Packers also worked out several receivers Tuesday and signed two of them to their practice squad: Patrick Williams and Biron Ealy. They also cut one player from their practice squad, guard Stanley Daniels.

    Ealy (6-feet-2, 202 pounds) played in four games for Tennessee in 2007 and was on the Titans’ practice squad last year. He’d been out of football after getting waived injured (hamstring) by Baltimore during training camp.

    Williams (6-1, 204) signed with the Packers this past offseason as an undrafted rookie. The Packers put him on injured reserve because of a hamstring injury during training camp and later waived him.

    Why bother?
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

      I guess if someone else goes down to injury before Nelson comes back, and with GJ and JJ history of injuries that wouldnt be that unlikely.

        No, I mean why bother signing these two? They sound like bottom of the barrell guys.

          I think they bothered because they promoted Allen and happened to have the room now.

              This is the best they could find? I never heard of them (which ain't saying much). And I'm not a talent scout, but both coming off injuries? One out of football for a year? One the Packers cut?

              I don't know, maybe talent out there is REALLY thin.

                Isn't that the way it usually works with mid-season practice squad acquisitions? Grab a couple players that may have some upside, give 'em a few weeks to tryout. If they've got nothing, cut 'em and move on.

                      Crabtree wasn't available he signed recently...

                      The pickups seem to make sense to me, the one guy was in camp and has been exposed to the system. The other guy has NFL experience.

                          That's what I was hoping/thinking.

                            I guess I can see signing Williams. I forgot about him signing as an undrafted free agent.

                              He was an option. Must not have impressed the coaches very much?

                              Patrick Williams has some good speed and was a good special teamer in college. That's what they would need out of him if he ever saw the field.
