Maybe not bad news:
@ByRyanWood: Plan is still for Jumal Rolle to be on #Packers PS, per source. He's at home today and not at practice, but expected to return tomorrow.
Crap! Without Rolle the PS is a bust!
(I really did want him back.)

Interesting...
Did anyone sign any of our cuts to their 53?

Not 53, but @Eric_Branch: Source: #49ers will sign former #Packers OT John Fullington to their practice squad.
I get a kick outta the Jumal Rolle leg humping on this board, three years from now everyone will have a hard to remembering who he was
How bout the Sconnie Qb McEvoyzzzzzz on the Practice squad

Underdogs are fun to root for.
And actually, Donald Drivers do happen.

2:00 PM: The Packers announced the full 10-man practice squad, but Jumal Rolle is nowhere to be found. Names not previously reported are: wide receivers Alex Gillett and Kevin Dorsey, linebacker Adrian Hubbard, defensive end Luther Robinson, and center Garth Gerhart.
2:10 PM: Something is fishy regarding Jumal Rolle, as the Green Bay Press-Gazette's Ryan Wood reports:

We'll try to keep track of this situation as it develops.
Packers' Final(-ish) Practice Squad
WR Kevin Dorsey
WR Alex Gillett
WR Myles White
RB Michael Hill
TE Justin Perillo
OT Jeremy Vujnovich
C Garth Gerhart
DE Luther Robinson
OLB Adrian Hubbard
S Chris Banjo
Got to believe it will be Gillett who goes to make room for Rolle.
Cut twice in a 3 day span, brutal!

TOTALLY!

Rolle's probably pissed that he got ****ed out of a roster spot in favor of Goodson, a player he beat like a drum during camp.
Wonder if TT is working a trade of someone (QB?) and that will open a spot on the 53, and subsequent spot on the PS.
What happened to Rolle. Thought he was on the P.S.?

This.
If you trade a QB wouldn't you want to add another QB to the PS?
I was think more like a PS WR since there are 3. Can you trade PS players?

Now, maybe he will join the Vikings and kill us twice a year.
Favre still lies in bed in fear of that brute. Who was the other joker up there who thought he could create an image as a nemesis for Favre? He was a DL? Man, the Vikings suck so much.

John Randle, chicken chaser.
Jumal Rolle added to practice squad. Looks like Alex Gillett is gone. Too bad. I think Gillett is a better player than Myles White.

Super Bowl here we come.
Was there ever a reason given as to why he wasn't added on yesterday???? Seems odd to take Gillett initially but then waive him a day later and add Rolle.
Gillette better than White? Debatable.
Glad Rolle is back
Superb Owl.

Because some teams put in a waiver claim for him and rescinded
Gillett has hit his ceiling as a player. He can catch and knows the routes, but he's never going to be a significant contributor to a team. He's a below average athlete. Myles White can catch and can run the routes and is a very good athlete. No mystery as to why Gillette was the odd man out. Some of you seem to keep looking for the next Donald Driver...some scrappy underdog that proves everyone wrong and makes the team. Problem is guys like Driver and Shields aren't scrappy underdogs, they're elite athletes that just got overlooked. You have to be an elite athlete to play in the NFL now, getting by only on intangibles isn't enough anymore.
Pfffftt...he's in the hyperbaric chamber daily. Elite!
