Ibraheim Campbell

The Green Bay Packers activated safety Ibraheim Campbell from reserve/physically unable to perform and released linebacker Tim Williams on Tuesday.

Campbell saw action in three games for the Packers last season and played well before a torn ACL landed him on injured reserve. Campbell registered 20 tackles (16 solo), a forced fumble and a pass defensed prior to the injury.

Campbell was originally selected in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns out of Northwestern.

In addition to the Packers and Browns, Campbell also spent time with the Houston Texans, new York Jets and Dallas Cowboys, appearing in 46 games with 12 starts.

Panthers place Newton on I.R.

The Carolina Panthers will go with Kyle Allen at quarterback against the Packers on Sunday. The Panthers placed Cam Newton on injured reserve.

Newton has missed the last six games while trying to battle back from a mid-foot sprain.

Newton was the league’s MVP in 2015, but has lost his last eight starts dating back to last season.

The Green Bay Packers could be thin at wide receiver this week when they face the Oakland Raiders, so they went out and added some veteran depth at the position this week.

The Packers signed sixth-year wide receiver Ryan Grant, who has 123 receptions for 1,333 yards and seven touchdowns. A former fifth round pick by the Washington Redskins in 2014, had career-high totals of 45 catches for 573 yards and four touchdowns with the Redskins in 2017.

Grant went on to sign a four-year, $29 million free agent deal with the Baltimore Ravens in 2018, but he was let go when he failed his physical. Grant then signed a one-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts for $5 million. He caught 35 passes for the Colts before moving on this season, signing with the Oakland Raiders.

With the Raiders, Grant caught four passes for 14 yards in two games this season before being released. [Read more…]
