Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine from practice squad to 53-man roster

The Green Bay Packers added help at cornerback from the practice squad on Saturday.

The team announced the signing of cornerback Corey Ballentine from the practice squad to the 53-man roster before Sunday’s visit from the Dallas Cowboys.

Ballentine takes the roster spot of Eric Stokes, who was placed on injured reserve after he suffered knee and ankle injuries against the Detroit Lions.

The Packers initially signed Ballentine (5-11, 196) to the practice squad on Sept. 28. A sixth-round pick of the New York Giants in the 2019 NFL draft, Ballentine has played in 32 games and made four starts at the professional level.
