QB Graham Harrell cleared waivers and will be signed to our PS, according to his agent.

According to Greg A. Bedard,  ILB Robert Francois is signed to our PS, as well.

Harrell showed a few flashes over the course of the preseason -- his accuracy certainly improved -- but he was about as raw as could be. Plus he looked extremely skinny. Spending a year on the practice squad will allow him to learn the Packers' system, work on his fundamentals, and hopefully put on 20 pounds of good lean mass. Next year he will have the opportunity to attend Mike McCarthy's quarterback school, where he will be groomed to be Matt Flynn's replacement as Flynn becomes increasingly attractive as trade bait. I could see a quarterback-hungry team offering a fourth-round pick for Flynn sometime in the next couple of years.

By the way, do practice squad players travel with the team, or do they watch the games on TV the same as the rest of us?

Both Flynn and Rodgers are 6'2" and 225 lbs. Harrell is 6'2" 215.. i would think adding a extra 10 Ibs would not be a big deal. All three QBs are 25 years old.

all practice squad players do not travel with Packers to road games.

We certainly could do with grooming Flynn's replacement. He has two years left on his deal I think so next offseason will be the point at which he has the most trade value.

If I was Flynn there is no way I would re-sign with the Packers. He's no doubt benefitted greatly from the development provided by Mike McCarthy and Clements, but he knows if he wants playing time he has to get out of here.

He's been signed to the Jets PS - a 3-4 team.

I don't know much about him but I would have thought he'd be more use than that 27-year-old Blizzard linebacker.

Our PS has no DL so Justin's back better stay healthy.

+1 to the Historian as I was curious about that myself.

And I think we're grooming Flynn to be trade bait. Hope Harrell develops.

Yeah, I thought they would have a DL on there, but I suppose if Justin Harrell (or one of the others) gets hurt they will just sign someone off another team's practice squad to be the #6 DL and move C.J. Wilson into the rotation. I don't see Harrell getting a lot of snaps during most games anyway. Neal will probably take the bulk of the snaps that are needed to spell the starters.

I'm really not sure Wilson is ready for regular season action. The beat writers, who saw pretty much every snap of open practice all seem to think he needs another year. But that's what we're left with now. I really wish Toribio could have cleared waivers.

If Harrell stays healthy I think he could prove effective. The guy hasn't had a regular run of games in three or four years. Surely regular practice and game time will do his play the world of good.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
