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.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing
