Packers add ILB, roster stands at 90

August 3, 2016 By Bill Scott

Packers logoThe Green Bay Packers signed inside linebacker Derrick Matthews on Tuesday, reaching the 90-man roster limit in the process.

Matthews spent a portion of last season on Washington’s practice squad.  He joined the Redskins as a free agent on Nov. 23 and was released on Jan. 5.  He resigned with Washington on Jan. 14 and was released again on May 2.

Matthews played his college football at Houston, where he finished fifth in school history with 400 career tackles.  But he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee on Oct. 11, 2014, ending his college career.

Packers return tonight

The Packers are back on the practice field tonight after taking Tuesday off.  They’ll have night workouts tonight and Thursday.

They’ll open the preseason on Sunday night against the Indianapolis Colts in the Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio.
