The Green Bay Packers are bolstering their practice squad by signing defensive lineman Eric Johnson II. This addition addresses a need created by recent player movements, including a player being claimed off waivers and another being signed away from Green Bay's practice squad. The team now has at least one open spot filled on their defensive line.
Johnson has prior NFL experience, having appeared in 51 regular season games with the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots. He has accumulated significant playing time, logging 700 defensive snaps and 132 special teams snaps throughout his career. This marks his fourth NFL team, having also been with the Minnesota Vikings and Atlanta Falcons.
This signing is part of a broader effort by the Packers to replenish their practice squad. The team recently hosted several players for tryouts, including interior defensive linemen and wide receivers. It is anticipated that further signings may occur soon to fully staff the practice squad.
