#Packers claim DL Anthony Rush 📰 https://t.co/HaeCFuq6Jv

Only 361 LBS !!!

If he can stuff the run like Billy Winn, Pettine will do the logical thing - keep him on the bench and watch Dean Lowry get skated backwards.

I thought you were going to say drop him back into coverage.

Smells like Howard Green.

I don't know what Howard Green smelled like but that was my first thought - can he be Howard Green all over again?

It's something. 

Tavon Austin smells like Desmond Howard?

Looks like it’s a good thing we didn’t get Will Fuller.  Just suspended 6 weeks for PEDs

Interesting signing. Now will they actually use him?

They will probably use him as often as they did Ryan Grant last year.

Can he play piano?

The #Packers are signing veteran WR Tavon Austin, source says. Was with the #Rams when Matt LaFleur (pronounced La-Flew-er, @TomPelissero) was there.

Small step in the right direction, I guess.

This might be blasphemous to say, but maybe the FO knew something we didn't.

I like the moves. Always strive to improve.

Once again, the best moves a team may make are the ones they never make.

MLF was Austin's OC in LA in 2017.

I would be thrilled if he just returned kicks and did it without fumbling.

Ummmm.....Glad we didn't get him

If Aaron Rodgers throws to Tavon Austin, it will be just the second time he's ever targeted a WR picked in the 1st round. In 7,103 career attempts (regular season & playoffs), he's thrown two passes to a first-round WR: Koren Robinson in 2007. He's 2-for-2 for 20 yards.

I bet Rodgers might have the record for attempt, completions, yards, and touchdowns to 2nd round WRs, though. Jennings, Nelson, Cobb, and Adams were all second-round choices.

Marcedes Lewis - 1st rounder

If the Packers had traded for Fuller there would have been a physical and a pee test. That trade was never going to go through.

Unless, of course, the Whizzanator made a comeback.

just saw that, wonder if he would have had to disclose there was a chance he was under investigation, etc...

Packers cut Darrius Shepherd https://t.co/9pl6i47FnO

Assuming there's no plans to use Austin this week unless they actually got him in the Covid protocol already.

The cost of replacing Darrius Shepherd with Tavon Austin for 5 games: $110,295.

He's apparently eligible to practice tomorrow. My guess is we very likely could see him on Sunday.
