GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers signed receiver Damon Hazelton on Friday, one day before their preseason game with the New York Jets.
With Devin Funchess, Juwann Winfree and Chris Blair sidelined by injuries, the Packers are short at receiver – especially if Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb sit out a second consecutive preseason game. With those seven potentially out, the Packers would have had only Equanimeous St. Brown, Malik Taylor, Reggie Begelton and Amari Rodgers available to face the Jets.
Hazelton, who measured 6-2 3/4 with a 4.64 in the 40, worked out on Monday.
