LANDOVER, Md. -- Carl Bradford might finally get his first shot to play in an NFL game nearly three years after the Green Bay Packers drafted him.
The fourth-round pick in 2014 was promoted from the practice squad on Saturday and with only two other available inside linebackers, it's likely Bradford will suit up for a regular-season game for the first time when the Packers play at Washington on Sunday night.
To make room for Bradford, the Packers cut tight end Justin Perillo. That's a sign they plan to have Jared Cook back on the field for the first time since the veteran tight end sprained his right ankle in Week 3.
