GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers fortified their injury-plagued linebacker corps by signing Chris Russell on Tuesday.
Russell went undrafted out of Texas A&M. He had tryouts with the Packers and Tennessee Titans at their postdraft rookie camps but was not signed. He worked out for the team again on Tuesday, according to NFL insider Aaron Wilson.
In 2022, Russell had 66 tackles, including 2.5 sacks and seven tackles for losses, along with one pass defensed, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. In 2023, he had 30 tackles, with two sacks and two tackles for losses.
