Packers opt for D-line depth – not C.J. Spiller – with open roster spot

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers filled their open roster spot on Thursday by promoting rookie defensive tackle Brian Price from the practice squad.

With five key defensive players nursing injuries -- including tackle Letroy Guion and end/outside linebacker Datone Jones – the Packers needed help along their front line.

Guion is expected to miss Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions because of the sprained MCL he sustained last Sunday at Minnesota. Jones also has a knee injury, but his status for this week is up in the air.
