GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers have brought back safety Innis Gaines, signing him to their practice squad on Tuesday.
The Packers also released cornerback Benjie Franklin and linebacker Ray Wilborn from their practice squad. That leaves the team with one vacancy, should they choose to fill it.
Gaines, who spent all of last season on the practice squad, might have pushed for a roster spot during training camp and the preseason if not for a nagging hamstring injury that ultimately led to his release. Back at full health, Gaines had a few suitors but chose to return to Green Bay.
