Packers sign Vince Young

Aug 05, 2013

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Monday that QB Vince Young signed a one-year contract with the Packers following a successful workout with the team.

ESPN's Ed Werder was the first to report of the imminent signing.

Rapoport reported that the Packers have a quarterback meeting Monday night and Young plans to attend.

The signal-caller makes his NFL return after a one-year hiatus. He was cut by the Buffalo Bills last summer after he somehow managed to lose the backup quarterback job to Tyler Thigpen. Young has had additional stops with the Philadelphia Eagles and Tennessee Titans.

Fantasy Impact:

Young will serve as a more dependable backup to Rodgers than Graham Harrell and B.J. Coleman. Neither has done much to inspire confidence in the early stages of camp for the Packers.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

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.
