GREEN BAY, Wis. – It’s on to long snapper No. 3 for the Green Bay Packers this season.

And no, it’s not emergency snapper Richard Rodgers, their backup tight end.

Derek Hart will rejoin the team and replace the injured Taybor Pepper, who replaced the injured Brett Goode.

Hart was signed on Friday, a source told ESPN.com, after Pepper sustained a foot injury in practice a day earlier.

Coach Mike McCarthy said he and his staff took an in-depth look at the team’s injury epidemic during last week’s bye.
