GREEN BAY, Wis. – Officially, the Green Bay Packers got down to the 85-man roster limit on Tuesday by making three roster moves. Unofficially, they are at 86 players and will need to eliminate one more player from the roster.
With Jordan Love nursing a strained throwing shoulder and iffy for Saturday’s preseason game against the New York Jets, Green Bay re-signed Jake Dolegala, a source said in confirming what was first reported by ESPN.com’s Rob Demovsky. The Packers didn’t announce the transaction, though, so Dolegala isn’t officially on the roster.
Green Bay started the day at 88 players and got down to 85 by announcing the release of guard Zach Johnson and the placement of two promising players, receiver DeAndre Thompkins and tight end Isaac Nauta, on injured reserve.
