Packers sign Dimitri Nance

Dimitri Nance teams with Brandon Jackson

The latest injury update for Ryan Grant of the Packers, is that his season is most likely over with. The Green Bay Packers are left with only Brandon Jackson and John Kuhn at Running back. Neither player has proven much as a starter, thus the Packers felt they needed to add an additional player to the mix. On Tuesday the Packers signed Running Back Dimitri Nance to their roster, off of the Atlanta Falcons practice squad.

Ryan Grant was a work horse for the Packers a season ago, running for 1,253 yards. The Packers hope that Brandon Jackson, a 24 year old, 3rd year player who has just 689 career rushing yards can put up big numbers. In addition to Jackson, they have signed rookie running back Dimitri Nance, who was on the Atlanta Falcons practice squad this season. He was an undrafted free agent from Arizona State University. At ASU he rushed for 745 yards and 6 TD’s in his senior season.

The Packers team that is favored by many to make it to the Super Bowl this season hopes that Jackson, Nance, and Kuhn can team up to pick up where Ryan Grant left off.
