Practice Squad

I would have to think Caleb Jones, Tyler Goodson, Jack Heflin would be top priorities to bring back and Heflin and Goodson at some point may even see regular season action. 

That rookie kicker looked good too and Crosby is not getting any younger. 

Patrick Taylor has to be a top priority too and I agree completely on Ahmed.

Would love to see us develop Ahmed...kid kicked in Reno...he is used to snow. K/P are the hardest guys to draft and develop...they bust way more than they hit. So to get a 27 year old who has come up the hard way is way more appealing to me than spending a 5th rounder on the "best college kicker," who in all likelihood will be a bust.

Packers are signing QB Danny Etling to the practice squad after he cleared waivers, per source.

Packers made no claims. No Packers were claimed.

Pretty clear teams like familiarity with guys they have in their system.

Jack Heflin signed to P/S, per Tom Silverstein

Awesome news on Heflin, gotta love his motor/effort.

Any news on Slayton?

Abernathy is waived with the arrival of Ford.

That was quick.

Gute just said they are trying to bring him back to PS

Brian Gutekunst called it a “tough call” on Samori Toure vs. Juwann Winfree. “Samori’s ability in the slot, his ability to separate and get open, those things intrigued us.” Said he wants Winfree back on practice squad. Will be interesting to see if he chooses to go elsewhere. pic.twitter.com/lTvYBhSeyZ

Love Winfree, but he's just not fast enough, nor as dynamic as Toure. Tough call, but the right one, IMO.

Gute says he wants Micah Abernathy, Juwann Winfree, and Ramiz Ahmed back on the P/S

Rico Gafford and Chris Slayton reportedly back on P/S

In effect it was a trade. Ford for Summers.

Also Travis Fulgham and La’Darius Hamilton to the P/S

Former #Jaguars DB Benjie Franklin is signing with #Packers PS, according to his agency

fucker has his own agency.  Obviously not a minimum wage guy

Another player from the Jaguars? At least, we know Gute is bringing in players from a winning tradition.

They survived Urban Meyer, they are ready for anything.

Matt LaFleur says there was "a lot of discussion" about whether to keep 3 running backs on the 53. Ultimately, #Packers kept only 2. He indicates the team was able to sign Tyler Goodson and Patrick Taylor back to the practice squad, and either could be game-day elevations.

Definitely good news.

Tyler Goodson and Patrick Taylor are both back on the PS.

Latest count is they are at 11 players, 5 open spots to go

#Packers K Ramiz Ahmed will sign with the team's practice squad after being released yesterday.

— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) August 31, 2022

That's great. They got back everyone that they had even the slimmest chances of losing.

Caleb Jones?

They did sign Caleb Jones to the PS

The #Packers have signed OT Caleb Jones to the practice squad, source tells @cheeseheadtv @ZoneCoverageMN. He had a promising preseason.

— Wendell Ferreira (@wendellfp) August 31, 2022

2 more PS dudes

"...also signed OLB Kobe Jones and ILB Ray Wilborn to their practice squad. Both were at practice today. But no sign of Juwann Winfree yet"

#Packers PS:
RB Goodson
RB Taylor
OL Jones
K Ahmed
CB Thomas
DB Franklin
WR Fulgham
OLB Hamilton
DL Slayton
DL Jack Heflin
QB Etling
CB Gafford
ILB Wilborn
OLB Jones

They also want Juwann Winfree and Micah Abernathy back, which would fill their last two spots.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 31, 2022

Was wondering about Abernathy.

Wilborn is useless.

The guy from that interruption show? Agreed.

Ain't nothing slim about him!

With DET popping Boyle, I wonder if he'd draw interest from GB as QB#3. 

He's actually younger than Etling!

from Wilde

Juwann Winfree’s agent, Mike McCartney, announced via Twitter Wednesday evening his client had signed on to return to the Packers, but only after apparently considering other opportunities.

I would have gone with 'lancing' Boyle, but popping works too.

So if Abernathy signs that fills the practice squad for now.

I really want to get Abernathy on the PS. But since we signed Ford, doesn’t that mean 1 person will have to be cut and possibly signed to the PS? Please enlighten me, Mr. Wizard.
