GREEN BAY – A little more than three weeks ago, linebacker Joe Thomas was trying to get used to his new surroundings and still bumming that he wasn’t in Green Bay.
Funny how things can change.
Thomas, who spent the second half of last season on the Packers’ practice squad and made a strong bid for a roster spot in this year’s training camp, had to swallow hard when Green Bay released him after the final preseason game.
He landed in Dallas as a member of the Cowboys’ practice squad, but it turned out to be a brief detour.
