Looking for TE help? I wonder if they're just turning over all rocks or if they're really interested in signing him.

Though it sounds like the Lions might now be in the market for a TE

Eric Ebron carted off field at Detroit Lions practice... after being unable to apply pressure on his right leg... Ebron might have suffered an Achilles tendon injury... however, that Ebron has indicated to two teammates that he's OK, so there's a chance the injury could be minor.

With fellow former first-round tight end Brandon Pettigrew already on the physically unable to perform list as he recovers from a torn ACL

I don't know if Winslow Jr. qualifies with WPR's Packers people criteria. He always acted like a petulant child, but maybe a few years out of football will bring some humility to a player. I always like a good comeback story. Even better when the Packers are the team giving the guy another shot.

Maybe it means Cook's foot isn't healing.

I don't see him making the team but if he is a better option than other TEs then good for GB.

This is more about his agents, the Postons but this is the first thing I think of when I hear of Kellen.

Nothing wrong with "kicking the tires".
The guy might do well seeing as he has to know this is his last shot.
They don't lose anything by checking him out.

The only way it says anything about Cook is if they sign him and start giving him reps with the starters or back ups.

Imagine instead of Kellen Winslow it says "The Packers worked out Robert Blanchflower 2014 draft pick out of Massachusetts who spent some time on Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad last season". Nobody would say that has anything to do with Cooks foot.
