Packers will have to trim two to make room for Ahmad Brooks, Chris Odom

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Ahmad Brooks won't be the only addition the Green Bay Packers will have on their defense.

They picked up another potential pass-rusher Sunday when they claimed rookie Chris Odom off waivers from the Atlanta Falcons. It means they will have to make two roster moves to clear the way for the newest players.

Brooks, the former San Francisco 49ers outside linebacker who agreed to terms last week, will officially sign either Sunday or Monday.

Even with Brooks unofficially in the fold, the Packers still kept 53 players on their initial roster after Saturday's final roster cuts.
