Former Notre Dame star Jaylon Smith was released earlier this week by the Dallas Cowboys but wasn’t out of work long. After speculation Wednesday had him connected to the Green Bay Packers, Smith officially signed with the organization on Thursday.
Smith will wear number nine for the green and gold and make his Packers debut on Sunday as Green Bay travels to take on the Cincinnati Bengals.

Smith had played in all 68 regular season Cowboys games since returning from his brutal knee injury that he suffered in the 2016 Fiesta Bowl against Ohio State.
