A roundup of what's happening on the Green Bay Packers beat.
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- When the Packers placed rookie Johnathan Franklin on injured reserve last Wednesday because of a neck injury, they replaced him on the roster with practice-squad linebacker Victor Aiyewa.
But they still needed another running back because without Franklin, they had only two halfbacks -- Eddie Lacy and James Starks -- plus fullback John Kuhn on their roster.
So it should not have come as a major surprise that on Monday they signed a running back, former Chicago Bears veteran Kahlil Bell, according to an NFL source.
