GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers have signed defensive back Bashaud Breeland, adding a veteran to take Davon House’s place after the cornerback was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.
A fifth-year player out of Clemson, Breeland played 60 games with 57 starts in four years with the Washington Redskins. Breeland had agreed to terms on a contract with Carolina as a free agent in the offseason, but the deal fell through after he failed a physical.
The 5-foot-11 Breeland had 267 tackles and eight interceptions while with the Redskins. Coach Mike McCarthy says the Packers are fortunate to pick up an experienced veteran four weeks into the season.
