Nine days ago, the Green Bay Packers released quarterback Joe Callahan from the 53-man roster. With injuries aplenty and two players coming off suspension before the team’s game against the Dallas Cowboys, the Packers needed a roster spot and Callahan - the third quarterback on the roster - was deemed expendable.
However, instead of Callahan clearing waivers and the Packers having an opportunity to sign him to the team’s practice squad as expected, the New Orleans Saints made a surprise waiver claim, nabbing Callahan through the waiver system.
Now the Packers will potentially have a chance to get him back.
