Packers promote DL Tyler Lancaster to the active roster, release RB Darius Jackson

The team announced on Saturday that they promoted Tyler Lancaster from the practice squad and released running back Darius Jackson as the corresponding move.

The Packers signed Lancaster out of Northwestern as a part of their undrafted free agent haul back in May. He was released as a part of final roster cut-downs in September but was added to the practice squad the following day.

Ever since Muhammad Wilkerson suffered a season-ending ankle injury against the Washington Redskins two weeks ago, the Packers have had workouts with a few defensive linemen and even tried re-adding Brian Price to their roster from the Cleveland Browns' practice squad, however, the Browns upped Price's salary to keep him in town.
