GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Three days after the final cuts, the Green Bay Packers have added their third new defensive player.

They signed fifth-year defensive lineman Quinton Dial on Tuesday, his agent confirmed to ESPN.

Dial followed his former San Francisco 49ers teammate Ahmad Brooks, who officially signed with the Packers on Sunday. That was the same day general manager Ted Thompson claimed rookie Chris Odom off waivers from the Atlanta Falcons.

While Brooks and Odom are part of a revamped outside linebacker group behind Clay Matthews and Nick Perry, Dial is expected to provide depth on the defensive line.
