Four members of the Green Bay Packers practice squad eventually got promoted to the active roster last season.
All four -- receiver Jared Abbrederis, running back John Crockett, cornerback Robertson Daniel and tight end Justin Perillo -- were on the initial practice squad for Week 1.
That bodes well for the group assembled by general manager Ted Thompson on Sunday, one day after the final cuts. He filled nine of the 10 allotted spots.
Here’s a look at those who were signed, according to the NFL’s daily transaction notice. The Packers did not announce any practice-squad moves.
WR Geronimo Allison: The undrafted rookie might have made the Packers’ 53 in most other years. But with seven receivers already on the roster, Allison was caught in a numbers crunch.
LB Carl Bradford: This is the second straight year on the practice squad for the 2014 fourth-round pick, who spent all of his rookie season on the roster but inactive for every game. Bradford had easily his best camp and might be the closest to getting called up considering there are only three natural inside linebackers on the roster.
LB Beniquez Brown: The undrafted rookie finished fifth on the team with 12 tackles in the preseason.
OLB Reggie Gilbert: The undrafted rookie posted 1.5 sacks in the preseason.
G Blake Muir: The only one of the signings who wasn’t with the Packers in training camp. The Australian played college football at Baylor and was in camp with the 49ers.
G Lucas Patrick: The undrafted rookie played most of training camp with a club cast on his broken right hand. Still, nobody took more reps in the one-on-one pass blocking drill than he did.
DT Brian Price: The undrafted rookie had to be one of the last cuts on Saturday. He probably lost out to Christian Ringo, who spent all of his rookie year last season on the practice squad.
WR Herb Waters: The undrafted rookie didn’t catch a pass in any of the four preseason games and averaged 23.5 yards on two kickoff returns.
CB Jermaine Whitehead: The undrafted rookie gives the Packers a whopping 13 defensive backs between the roster and practice squad.
One other player, former Stanford receiver Devon Cajuste, tweeted that he was being signed to the Packers’ practice squad. He was with the 49ers in the preseason. However, he was not listed on Sunday’s NFL transactions.
