The Green Bay Packers made a pair of moves that shifted their defensive backs unit on Monday. According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Packers were awarded cornerback Kyu Kelly off of waivers. In a corresponding roster move, Green Bay also announced the release of safety Innis Gaines, who was signed off of the practice squad prior to last week’s game.
Kelly is the son of former NFL cornerback Brian Kelly, who spent more than a decade in the league with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions.
