GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers filled their practice squad on Saturday by signing linebacker Michael Barrett and guard Marquis Hayes.
Barrett, who was part of Michigan’s national championship defense, was a seventh-round pick in this year’s draft by the Carolina Panthers.
He was traded to the Seattle Seahawks during training camp, and he served practice-squad stints with the Seahawks and Cleveland Browns. The Browns released him last month.
Barrett played in 62 games with 35 starts over six seasons. He was third-team all-Big Ten in 2022, when he had 72 tackles, two interceptions, 3.
