Former Vikings' WR signs with the Green Bay Packers...

The Green Bay Packers signed wide receiver Dede Westbrook and edge rusher Tim Ward to the team's 16-player practice squad on Tuesday.

A fourth-round pick in 2017 by the Jacksonville Jaguars, Westbrook has 170 career receptions. That includes back-to-back seasons of 66 receptions for the Jaguars in 2018 and 2019. After missing most of the 2020 season with a torn ACL, he caught 10 passes last year for Minnesota.

He's also returned 69 career punts, a noteworthy number considering the Packers releaased Amari Rodgers on Tuesday and are now in the market for a new punt returner. It's worth nothing: Westbrook does have eight career fumbles, including two last season.
