"Packers Secure Defense with Re-Signing of OLB Justin Hollins"

The Green Bay Packers have re-signed outside linebacker Justin Hollins and waived running back Patrick Taylor, a surprising move considering Taylor was just signed to the 53-man roster. With running back Aaron Jones injured, Taylor was brought up to the active roster for Monday Night Football but was quickly released. The Packers seem to be prioritizing veterans who are actually playing over younger players who aren't getting much playing time, a departure from the common way of roster building in the NFL. Taylor is expected to return to the practice squad once a spot opens up.

Packers' Roster Shakeup: Prepping for Raiders Showdown

The Green Bay Packers made three roster moves ahead of their Week 5 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, signing running back Patrick Taylor from the practice squad to the 53-man roster, releasing outside linebacker Justin Hollins, and elevating cornerback Corey Ballentine from the practice squad to the gameday roster. Taylor is expected to serve as the third-down back in the absence of Aaron Jones, while Hollins may be claimed by another team on waivers. Ballentine provides insurance at cornerback and adds depth to the special teams unit. The Packers are looking to improve their run game and may distribute playing time more evenly among their running backs.
