Packers Overhaul Roster With 14 Moves, Add Jonathan Ford and Place Hobbs, Anderson on IR

Green Bay is shoring up depth after season-ending injuries gutted key positions.

Overview

  • Green Bay placed cornerback Nate Hobbs and safety Zayne Anderson on injured reserve, with coach Matt LaFleur saying he does not expect them to return this season.
  • The two-day flurry reached 14 transactions, including promoting cornerbacks Shemar Bartholomew and Jaylin Simpson to the 53-man roster.
  • The Packers signed quarterback Clayton Tune to the active roster and added quarterback Desmond Ridder to the practice squad as they manage Week 18 availability.
  • Defensive tackle Jonathan Ford, a 2022 Packers draft pick claimed off waivers from the Bears, passed his physical to join the 53, while DT Quinton Bohanna was released.
  • DT Jordon Riley (Achilles) and CB Kamal Hadden (ankle) went to IR after the loss to Baltimore, a game in which Green Bay allowed 307 rushing yards as it prepares for a seeding-irrelevant Week 18 finale.
