GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers continued filling out their 17-player practice squad on Thursday by signing linebacker Chris Russell and safety Omar Brown.
Both players are no strangers to Green Bay.
Russell spent the second half of training camp with the Packers. An undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M, he tied for sixth on the team with eight tackles in the preseason even while not with the team for the Cleveland game. In the preseason finale against the Ravens, his five tackles included one tackle for loss and a fourth-and-1 stop.
Russell was college teammates with second-round pick Edgerrin Cooper.
