Packers place Jake Ryan & CJ Johnson on IR and sign free agent running back On Monday Cheap JK Scott Jersey , the Green Bay Packers made official a roster move that had been expected for about a week.h a few days to go before their preseason opener.The first and most notable transaction was to place inside linebacker Jake Ryan on injured reserve. Ryan, a prospective starter at one of the inside spots, tore his ACL in practice last Monday and will miss the entire 2018 season. Because this was the final year of his rookie contract, he is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent in the spring.Ryan was not alone in heading to IR, though; the Packers also sent fellow linebacker C.J. Johnson to injured reserve. Johnson was an undrafted free agent rookie who signed with the Packers out of East Texas Baptist University. Johnson has been sidelined recently with a hamstring issue; this may be a precursor to the team releasing him with an injury settlement.In addition to the two IR moves, the Packers made a swap on the active roster as well. The team released guard Ethan Cooper after keeping him on the roster for a little less than a month. Cooper was acquired on waivers from the New York Giants in mid-July. To fill that spot, the team signed running back Akeem Judd, who is in his second year out of college, where he played for Ole Miss.Judd is a relatively stocky running back with decent speed; at Ole Miss’ Pro Day in 2017 he measured in at 5-foot-10-3/4 and 225 pounds and ran the 40-yard dash in a reported 4.54 seconds. In two years with the Rebels, Judd recorded 242 carries for 1251 yards (5.2 yards per carry) and nine touchdowns http://www.thepackersfootballauthentic.com/bryan-bulaga-jersey-authentic , plus 24 receptions for 160 yards (6.7-yard average) and another score. Judd started his college career at Georgia Military College before becoming one of the top junior college recruits in the country for 2014.After initially signing with the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted rookie last spring, Judd was placed on injured reserve after training camp and was waived with an injury settlement a month later. He spent about six weeks on the New York Jets’ practice squad before being promoted to the active roster in mid-December, but he did not dress on gameday. Judd joins a Packers running back corps that currently is without one of its most explosive players in Aaron Jones, who has not practiced in some time with a hamstring issue. Jones is also suspended for the first two games of the 2018 season. New York Giants general manager Dave Gettelman is cleaning house. He began a fire sale on Tuesday by trading away cornerback Eli Apple, a first-round draft pick in 2016, to the New Orleans Saints for fourth- and seventh-round draft picks.On Wednesday morning, he kept at it, this time dealing one of the Giants’ very best defensive players. Nose tackle Damon Harrison is on the move, and unfortunately for fans of the Green Bay Packers, he’s headed to the NFC North. The Detroit Lions have acquired Harrison in exchange for just a fifth-round draft pick, according to reporting from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.Harrison broke into the NFL with the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent out of William Penn University then signed a five-year contract worth about $46 million with the Giants in 2016. In his first year with the G-Men Womens Lane Taylor Jersey , Harrison was named first-team All-Pro at nose tackle. That year, he recorded 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble while tallying an whopping 86 total tackles, including six for losses.Trading Harrison now will cost the Giants $1.6 million in dead money on this year’s salary cap and will shove $3.2 million more in dead money on their cap in 2019. That will leave him with a cap hit of just $7 million for the Lions next year and $9.25 million in the final year of his contract in 2020.The Lions’ depth chart at defensive tackle had been fairly thin, with just three players listed: former Bronco Sylvester Williams, who is in Detroit on a one-year, $3.5 million contract, 2016 second-round draft pick A’Shawn Robinson, and journeyman Ricky Jean-Francois, a former Packer. Harrison appears to be an immediate upgrade over any of those players and should see significant snaps immediately in Detroit.The Packers will play the Lions next in week 17, closing out the regular season against them at Lambeau Field.
