The Green Bay Packers will complete their 53-man roster by adding a defensive lineman ahead of Sunday’s season opener against the Minnesota Vikings.
According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN, the Packers will sign former Baltimore Ravens defensive lineman Daylon Mack, filling the team’s open roster spot.
Mack, a fifth-round pick of the Ravens in 2019, played in just one game before landing on injured reserve last season. After being waived by the Ravens in August, Mack spent time with the Detroit Lions and New York Giants during training camp.
Mack, a massive nose tackle type at 6-1 and 340 pounds, was one of several players who worked out for the Packers earlier this week.
The Packers could use the extra depth along the defensive line, especially going into Week 1. The team has only four healthy defensive linemen, although Montravius Adams could soon return.
Mack played with both Kingsley Keke and Jace Sternberger at Texas A&M. He did 30 reps on the bench press at the 2019 combine. During his final collegiate season, Mack produced 5.5 sacks and 10 tackles for losses.
