On Thursday, the Green Bay Packers announced that offensive tackle Luke Tenuta was placed on injured reserve, a move that was expected. As Green Bay had not rostered a long snapper on its initial 53-man roster, the assumption was that the team was going to put one of the players who made the “final” cut on short-term injured reserve in order to make a roster spot for the re-signing of long snapper Matthew Orzech before the Packers played in Week 1.
That’s exactly what the team did today, as they also announced Orzech’s re-signing. Tenuta was originally a draft pick for the Buffalo Bills who was later claimed by the Indianapolis Colts.
