On Monday as the Green Bay Packers began their preparations to play the Chicago Bears, the team made a notable personnel move to bolster the depth on the offensive line. This move came as little surprise, but it is notable nonetheless as the Packers get ready to face a tough slate of pass-rushers in the coming weeks as they run the NFC North gauntlet.
The move was to activate offensive tackle Jared Veldheer from the commissioner’s exempt list, placing him on the 53-man roster. To make room for Veldheer, the Packers waived another reserve lineman, Adam Pankey.
