The Green Bay Packers hosted two notable names for a tryout on Monday.
According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN, the team held a tryout for former Seattle Seahawks center Justin Britt and former Baltimore Ravens defensive lineman Daylon Mack.
Britt, a second-round pick of the Seahawks in 2014, has made 86 NFL starts, with appearances at right tackle, guard and center. He played in just eight games before suffering a season-ending knee injury in 2019.
Mack, a fifth-round pick of the Ravens in 2019, spent time with the Detroit Lions and New York Giants this summer. He is 6-1 and 340 pounds, profiling as a nose tackle.
GM Brian Gutekunst’s roster currently has an open spot, making it possible Britt or Mack could sign soon. The team placed linebacker Kamal Martin and cornerback Kabion Ento on injured reserve and signed cornerback Parry Nickerson on Monday.
The Packers might be looking for extra depth along the offensive line, particularly behind center Corey Linsley. The team cut rookie center Jake Hanson. Mack would provide the Packers with some run-stopping potential up front on defense. Mike Pettine’s defensive line group is thin entering the 2020 season thanks to injuries.
