this spring on a one-year deal

The Packers brought in a potential late-round linebacker."The Green Bay Packers have acquired a number of former Northwestern Wildcats over the past few seasons. Defensive lineman Dean Lowry was a fourth-round pick in 2016 Jermaine Whitehead Jersey , and in 2018 the team acquired three more players who suited up in Evanston: defensive tackle Tyler Lancaster, fullback Danny Vitale, and safety Ibraheim Campbell.This week, the team reportedly brought in a player from Northwestern on a pre-draft visit: linebacker Nate Hall. Zach Kruse of The Packers Wire first reported the news.Hall is listed at 6-foot-2 and 230 pounds, which would make him a fit at inside linebacker in Green Bay. He had a productive career Za’Darius Smith Jersey , starting at least four games in each of his four years and being a full-time starter for his final three. As a junior in 2017, Hall posted particularly gaudy numbers, as he recorded 79 total tackles, including a whopping 16.5 tackles for loss. He also recorded five sacks, two interceptions Billy Turner Jersey , and eight pass breakups while playing every game at the strong-side linebacker position. However, he tore his ACL late in the season, missing Northwestern’s bowl game. He recovered in time to start in the Wildcats’ 2018 season opener, however, and he totaled 51 tackles Adrian Amos Jersey , 5.5 TFLs, and three picks in nine games.Hall was invited to the 2019 NFL Combine, but he did not work out due to a shoulder injury that he suffered late last fall. However, he did work out at Northwestern’s Pro Day, posting solid agility times of 6.85 seconds (3-cone) and 4.21 seconds (short shuttle) along with a 33-inch vertical.Note: Northwestern is apparently included as one of the Packers’ “local” schools Jimmy Graham Jersey , which means that workouts for their players do not count against the Packers’ limit of 30 official visits. The University of Wisconsin is also included in this program, as is Northern Illinois, according to Olivia Reiner of the Green Bay Press-Gazette.Packers DL Muhammad Wilkerson carted off with ankle injury Packers defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson left Sunday’s game on a cart with an ankle injury after he was caught up in a pile attempting to make a tackle.Wilkerson’s injury came on a second quarter run and appeared to have been caused at least in part by teammate Kentrell Brice. With Wilkerson trailing on the play, Brice came in hard for a tackle and in the course of attempting to make the play hit Wilkerson’s leg.Wilkerson appeared to be in considerable pain on the field, slamming his fists onto the cart in frustration before covering his face with his hands as the cart left the field.The Packers confirmed Wilkerson would miss the rest of the game shortly before play resumed for the second half.Fox’s Pam Oliver reported at the start of the second half that Wilkerson was being taken to the hospital by ambulance for further examination.An eight-year veteran Muhammad Wilkerson Jersey , Wilkerson signed with the Packers this spring on a one-year deal. He had two tackles through the Packers’ first two games.Rotational snaps will fall to Dean Lowry and Montravius Adams in Wilkerson’s absence. Lowry has played 33 snaps through the first two games of the season, producing three tackles. Adams has played just eight snaps and managed one tackle.
