The Green Bay Packers have signed LB Robert Francois to the active roster from the practice squad, placed S Derrick Martin on injured reserve, signed S Michael Greco and LB Mike Rivera to the practice squad, and released LB Johnny Williams from the practice squad. The transactions were announced Wednesday by Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations Ted Thompson.

Francois, a 6-foot-2, 255-pound first-year player out of Boston College, spent the final four weeks of the regular season and the playoffs on the Packers practice squad in 2009. He was released by Green Bay in the final roster cutdown in September, and has been on the practice squad for four of the five games. Francois entered the NFL as a non-drafted free agent with the Minnesota Vikings in May 2009. He will wear No. 49.

Martin sustained a knee injury in last Sundays game at Washington. He played in all five games this season.

Greco (GRECK-oh), a 6-foot-3, 224-pound rookie out of Central Florida, signed with the Giants in April 2010 as a non-drafted free agent and was with the team during the preseason. He will wear No. 43.

Rivera, a 6-foot-2, 245-pound first-year player out of Kansas, spent the entire 2009 season on the Tennessee Titans practice squad and was with the Titans during the preseason this year. He entered the NFL as a non-drafted free agent with the Chicago Bears in May 2009. Rivera will wear No. 48.

Ok, so now we have 7 ILBs on our roster, and 2 safeties? And Collins isn't 100%.

Martin hurts special team coverages a ton.. sucks.. but that can be replaced.. his depth at safety, not so much.

Fin.. you forget.. Bush can rotate over to safety.. that is if we have enough CB to cover. 😉

I remember a game in the 80s when James Lofton had to play DB. I just hope it doesn't get so bad that we have a WR playing DB. Woody may end up doubling as backup S but his forte is CB and I'd much rather see him there.

So Martin is done for the season too? I didn't even know he was hurt. He's not one of our better players, but still, this is just getting ridiculous.

sometime in the 2nd half Greg. It may have even been a return as the offense was coming onto the field. He was near the sideline when it happened, and when you saw it you could just tell it wasn't good. He rolled off the sideline. So now our done-for-the-year-list includes:

Martin
Barnett
Burnett
Finley
Grant

with Starks, Harris, and Bigby still as question marks.

Who else am I missing?
