Packers busy moving people in and out of roster

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — When general manager Brian Gutekunst spoke on Sunday afternoon about his first cutdown as general manager, he described the Green Bay Packers’ roster as “fluid.”

He wasn’t kidding.

Gutekunst continued tweaking the 53-man roster on Monday, adding running back Darius Jackson off the Dallas Cowboys’ practice squad and signing linebacker Korey Toomer. Those are an effort to fill two obvious needs in advance of the team’s regular-season opener Sunday night against the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field.

“It took a little longer than normal,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said following the team’s first post-training camp practice.
