Green Bay -- Running back Kregg Lumpkin cleared waivers and immediately signed with the Packers to be on their practice squad, a league source said this afternoon.
Lumpkin was among the 18 players who were released by the Packers Saturday night on the cut down to 53. He had a very solid exhibition season with 95 yards on 27 carries and a touchdown.
He provides insurance in case running back Brandon Jackson's ankle doesn't hold up early in the season and an extra back needs to be added to the roster.
