Packers sign DL Billy Winn, OL Ben Braden from practice squad

The Green Bay Packers addressed depth issues along both the offensive and defensive lines with a pair of additions from the team’s practice squad on Saturday.

The Packers signed veteran defensive lineman Billy Winn and offensive lineman Ben Braden from the practice squad to the 53-man roster on Saturday.

Winn will give the Packers extra depth up front on defense with Tyler Lancaster out on Sunday against the Houston Texans. Lancaster injured his shoulder during last week’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and didn’t practice this week.

Winn, who played in 68 games before arriving in Green Bay, was already elevated twice from the practice squad, meaning the Packers had to sign him to the roster to play him on Sunday.
