With Whitney Mercilus headed to injured reserve due to a torn biceps, and with Za'Darius Smith still seemingly a few weeks away yet from being able to return after back surgery, the Packers needed to do something to bolster their depth at outside linebacker.
No, they are not brining back Clay Matthews.
They are, however, elevating Tipa Galeai from practice squad to the active roster and bringing back La’Darius Hamilton, to the practice squad this time.
Galeai originally signed with the Packers as an undrafted free agent out of Utah State in 2020 and has been on Green Bay’s practice squad over the past two seasons, appearing in one game last season as a gameday elevation.
