Packers sign OT Jared Veldheer from Colts practice squad

Packers signed Veldheer from the practice squad.

The Green Bay Packers signed offensive tackle Jared Veldheer off of the Indianapolis Colts practice squad on Monday.

After filling in for the Colts at left tackle to replace regular starter Anthony Castonzo, Veldheer continues his postseason by signing with a team he spent the 2019 season with.

By signing with the Packers mid-postseason, Veldheer became the first player in NFL history to play two postseason games for two different playoff teams.

Veldheer came off the street and helped the Colts get into the postseason, anchoring the left tackle spot when they needed help after Castonzo underwent season-ending ankle surgery.

The Packers also lost their starting left tackle in David Bakhtiari so bringing in Veldheer can help further their playoff run after they got the bye week as the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
