The team announced the signing of DeAngelo Yancey to their practice squad, releasing linebacker Greer Martini as the corresponding move.
The Packers drafted Yancey in the fifth round (No. 175) of the 2017 draft as a result of a trade with the Denver Broncos. After playing sporadically throughout the preseason, the Packers stashed him on their practice squad for the entire duration of his rookie season.
It was the same old song and dance in 2018, except when the Packers waived him during final roster cut-downs, they didn't choose to retain him.
The Packers needed Yancey in a sense that the team simply didn't have enough bodies to practice with.
