In-season roster churn is a fact of life in the NFL, but it’s been an especially prominent part of the 2021 Packers’ season, especially among their edge rushers. This week alone they’ve signed two new edges, which doesn’t even fully replace the three they’ve sent to injured reserve this season.
Will that move the needle for a unit hit hard by injures? Honestly, probably not. The Packers’ additions this week could be characterized as a has-been and a never-was, although that may be a bit harsh. But the point is the Packers are buying lottery tickets here, and the chances that any of them will hit is low.
