With the second preseason game awaiting on Sunday, the Green Bay Packers reportedly signed two players to the roster on Tuesday. According to Packer Wire, linebacker Chris Russell was in Green Bay for a workout and will give depth to a position that has rookie Edgerrin Cooper and Ty’Ron Hopper missing practice time. Russell was a teammate of Cooper at Texas A&M and is 6’0” and 235 pounds.
In another signing, the Packers brought back running back Nate McCrary who was with Green Bay during training camp last year before being cut, according to MLFFootball. He rushed 11 times for 37 yards with a touchdown against the Seattle Seahawks last August. He played for the Michigan Panthers in the UFL this past spring.
