The Green Bay Packers released defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois last week. They re-signed him this week.
It’s a pretty interesting move. Francois was one of the Packers’ offseason free agent signings. Then he was dropped after playing just six snaps in week 1 so the Packers could add practice squad offensive lineman Adam Pankey.
The Pankey move reflected the beat up nature of the Packers’ offensive line. Three players — Bryan Bulaga, David Bakhtiari and Jason Spriggs missed the week 2 game.
So can we assume the Francois move is a similar one?
