Packers sign hybrid LB Christian Young to practice squad

The Green Bay Packers announced on Tuesday that the team has signed linebacker Christian Young to the practice squad. At the moment, the Packers haven’t announced a corresponding roster move, which might mean that inside linebacker Kristian Welch — who was promoted from the practice squad last week — is going to stick on the 53-man roster.

Young was one of five players, including former 1,000-yard rusher James Robinson, who was brought in for workouts on Monday. Along with Young, Green Bay also got a look at another off-ball linebacker — Olakunle Fatukasi — this week.
