Cornerback Demetri Goodson (knee) was placed on injured reserve, and cornerback Makinton Dorleant (hamstring) was activated using the team's designated-to-return option.

A speedy and feisty corner, Dorleant impressed during training camp and was one of four undrafted free agents in the secondary of general manager Ted Thompson's initial 53-man roster. His exhibition season was cut short by a hamstring injury that eventually landed him on injured reserve.

If Damarious Randall, LaDarius Gunter and Quinten Rollins are all available for Sunday's game, Dorleant is unlikely to see the field from scrimmage, though he should contribute on special teams. But the Packers added Randall (groin) to the injury report Saturday afternoon and listed him as questionable.

He lost his cool so easily and would get crazy amount of interference flags that kept drives alive for the other team. Woodson had some issues holding as well later in his career. I would like Woodson back, not Harris.

The little details didn't get past Harris, because Harris had to focus on them to play bump and run all game long.

The reason Harris and Woodson were so good was Harris would take the #1 WR and normally win, limiting their #1 guy. Leaving Woodson to play cat and mouse with the QB / non-#1 WRs.

Dorleant can play you guys. He may not be ready to start right now, but he can play.

The Sitton Cut tells us exactly how special they think Dorleant is. Ted let a late round pick go so he could have Dorleant available for the chance to have him on IR return!

Sitton was done because of the “Sat morning incident;” but the timing killed Ted’s chance to get a pick. Ted could have bluffed the league showing he’d keep Sitton unless he got a pick. All he had to do was IR Dorleant and kept Sitton on the roster. Dorleant could only be on IR-DTR if he went on IR from roster. Given what the Bears paid, the market was there to trade Sitton for a 5th or 6th during the 1st week. And if Ted misjudged or other teams called Ted’s bluff, Ted surely could have traded Sitton to Bears for “past considerations” to unload the guaranteed $6.2M.

I am just a little bothered that GB burnt their only chance for DTR on a street FA rookie. Perhaps they already realize that no one else on IR will be able to contribute this year but still. I guess the situation at CB is that critical.
