The Green Bay Packers had two open roster spots after trading two players for draft picks on Tuesday. Running back Tra Carson is getting one of them.
Carson was promoted from the Packers practice squad on Wednesday. He was originally signed to the practice squad on October 9.
Carson is a former undrafted free agent from Texas A&M. He spent all of the 2016 season on the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad. Carson was on injured reserve throughout 2017. He was on the Bengals active roster for the first two games this year before being waived.
During the preseason, Carson carried 20 times for 77 yards and scored two touchdowns.
