To fill the open roster spot, the Packers added cornerback James Nixon from the practice squad to the active roster. |

I like Nixon. Good player.
Returned kickoffs in college. Don't think he returned punts though.

This makes sense, I remember Nixon as very raw, but showed some nice coverage skills in preseason, he will also be able to jump in on Special Teams.
Sounds like Clay will be out 4 weeks, haven't heard anything about B. Jones.
Looks like the young guys will need to step up yet again, no worries,
The Packers stil have the Indestructable One to get them lined up and lead them.
