The Green Bay Packers might be making another change at kick and punt returner.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Packers claimed former Jacksonville Jaguars running back and returner Tyler Ervin off of waivers on Monday.
Ervin, a fourth-round pick of the Houston Texans in 2016 who has over 1,200 total return yards in his NFL career, was waived by the Jaguars on Nov. 30.
Ervin has rushed only five times and caught only 14 passes over his first four seasons, but he has vast experience returning both punts and kicks. He turned 34 kickoff returns in 716 yards and 61 punt returns in 505 yards.
At San Jose State, Ervin returned three kickoffs and two punts for touchdowns.
The Packers have used Trevor Davis, Darrius Shepherd and Tremon Smith at returner this season.
Smith fumbled at the end of a 3-yard punt return against the New York Giants on Sunday.
