Following the release of quarterback Danny Etling on Sunday, the Green Bay Packers were able to free up a roster spot. On Monday, they used that opportunity to sign running back Nate McCrary. McCrary was not in practice for the Packers on Monday, meaning that his first opportunity to play with his new team might come in Cincinnati, where the team will have their next practice — a joint practice — and their preseason opener.
McCrary was a two-year starter at Saginaw Valley State and went undrafted in the 2021 draft class. Originally signing with the Baltimore Ravens, McCrary has also spent time with the Denver Broncos, Carolina Panthers and most recently the Cleveland Browns — who waived him last week.
