GREEN BAY − The Green Bay Packers are reuniting with a former linebacker and key member of their special-teams units.
General manager Brian Gutekunst signed Kristian Welch, the team announced Friday. Welch, from Iola, spent the 2023 season with the Packers.
Welch started 2023 on the practice squad but was elevated to the 53-man roster in September. He appeared in 12 regular-season games and both playoff matchups. Welch finished fourth on the team with 210 special-teams reps.
