Joe Kerridge is poised to make his NFL debut Sunday.
The fullback and a captain last year at Michigan was promoted to the Green Bay Packers' active roster Monday.
Kerridge was signed to the Packers' practice squad in October after he originally signed with Washington Redskins as an undrafted free agent in May.
At Michigan, Kerridge started 14 of 48 games, including 11 last season. He served mostly as a blocking back, but rushed for 62 yards on 14 carries and a touchdown against Minnesota, and had 18 carries for 121 yards in his career.
