Brohm is back with the Packers

Sep 07, 2009

One day after being cut, quarterback Brian Brohm was back with the Packers.

And while Packers GM Ted Thompson knows this isn't exactly the way Brohm expected his NFL career to go, Thompson insists the former Louisville star can still become a productive player in the pros.

"We haven't given up on him, and we don't think he's given up, either," Thompson told reporters.

Brohm was one of eight players signed to the team's practice squad Sunday.

Also among the team's signings were wide receiver Jake Allen, cornerback Trevor Ford, linebacker Cyril Obiozor, running back Kregg Lumpkin, tackle Jamon Meredith, defensive end Ronald Talley and nose tackle Anthony Toribio.

Brohm was considered a potential NFL star in college but has struggled after slipping to the Packers in the second round of last year's draft.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
