The Green Bay Packers could be on the hunt for reinforcements along the defensive line.
According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN, the Packers worked out three different veteran defensive linemen on Monday, and all three are former draft picks.
GM Brian Gutekunst and his staff took a look at Carl Davis, David Parry and Justin Ellis.
Davis, a third-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens in 2015, stands 6-5 and weighs 320. He has played in 34 career games, including 12 starts for the Ravens in 2015-16. The Indianapolis Colts released him on Nov. 4.
Parry, a fifth-round pick of the Colts in 2015, stands 6-2 and weighs 317. He has five sacks and 83 tackles in 36 career games. The New England Patriots released him at final roster cuts.
Ellis, a fourth-round pick of the Oakland Raiders in 2014, stands 6-2 and weighs 335 pounds. He has 119 tackles in 66 career games. The Raiders released him from injured reserve on Oct. 8.
The Packers’ search appears centered around finding a capable run-stuffing lineman. Mike Pettine’s defense has struggled stopping the run throughout the season, and Gutekunst might see value in adding a veteran to the mix as the Packers prepare for the final six weeks of the season.
Now 8-2 after Sunday’s win over the Carolina Panthers, the Packers have a bye week in Week 11 before going on the road to play the run-heavy San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. The Packers play four of their final six games on the road.
