Yesterday the Green Bay Packers signed 2 Linebackers to the roster to help sure up our corp after losing yet another backer for the season in Brady Poppinga. The Pack signed Diyarl Briggs from Denver's practice squad as well as 8 year veteran Matt Wilhelm.
More importantly, another linebacker, Maurice Simkins was released from the team, leaving 1 roster spot open this week. The open roster spot may indicate that the either Al Harris or Atari Bigby may be released from the PUP list and available this weekend against the Jets.
I think that the Packers have performed fairly well on the defensive side of the ball considering the devastating injuries that we have had so far this year. I believe that we have shown a lot of depth on defense, and having Bigby and Harris back would be HUGE for the defense. I am expecting that Bigby will be released from the PUP list first as Harris is coming off of a major injury and I don't anticipate the Packers rushing his progress and risking losing him again.
