Running back Kregg Lumpkin cleared waivers and immediately signed with the Packers to be on their practice squad, a league source said this afternoon.
Lumpkin was among the 18 players who were released by the Packers Saturday night on the cut down to 53. He had a very solid exhibition season with 95 yards on 27 carries and a touchdown.
He provides insurance in case running back Brandon Jackson's ankle doesn't hold up early in the season and an extra back needs to be added to the roster.
UPDATE: LB Cyril Obiozor cleared waives and has been signed to the Packers' practice squad as well. He had a chance to sign a practice squad deal with a team that had fewer linebackers on the 53-man roster, but he chose the Packers, his agent, Ian Greengross, said.
UPDATE II: RB Tyrell Sutton has been claimed on waivers by the Carolina Panthers, his agent, Alonzo Shavers said. The Packers had offered Sutton a practice squad contract if he cleared.
UPDATE III: QB Brian Brohm has cleared waivers, but he is taking his time deciding which practice squad he plans to join. The Packers are waitting to hear from him and are holding a spot open, but he's definitely talking with other clubs, a league source said.
Tackle Jamon Meredith is considering offers from the Packers and the Buccaneers to be on their practice squad, the source said.
UPDATE iV: S Anthony Smith has been claimed on waivers by the St. Louis Rams, a league source said.
UPDATE V: QB Brian Brohm has signed with the Packers' practice squad, a source said. He had other options but chose to come back to the Packers.
