Packers make another move to bolster defensive depth with Ego Ferguson

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers want to see if former Chicago Bears defensive tackle Ego Ferguson can do two things: stay healthy and live up to the billing he had as a second-round draft pick in 2014.

The Packers claimed him off waivers Monday, ESPN’s Field Yates reported. The Bears cut him Friday after a short, injury-filled career in Chicago that saw him play in just 20 of a possible 48 games.

Ferguson was the 51st overall pick of the 2014 draft out of LSU.
