The team has announced the signing of fullback Tommy Bohanon, a free agent and five-year NFL veteran.Bohanon entered the NFL in 2013 after a career at Wake Forest, being drafted in the seventh round by the New York Jets. He played there for three seasons (though he missed much of his second year on injured reserve, but did not make final cuts in 2016 and was out of football that year. However, he returned to football in 2017 when the Jacksonville Jaguars came calling, and played in every game for the Jags the past two years.It is perhaps his time in Jacksonville that got him a job with the Packers now; after all, Green Bay offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett held the same position in Jacksonville for parts of the last three years. The team has shown an interest in former Hackett players before, signing running back Corey Grant earlier this offseason before releasing him two weeks later.For his career, Bohanon has seved primarily as a blocker Kyler Fackrell Jersey , but he has pieched in a bit in the passing game. He has 29 career receptions for 239 yards and a touchdown, as well as 26 carries for 72 yards and two scores. A strong, explosive athlete, Bohanon ripped off an impressive 36 reps at 225 pounds on the bench press at the 2013 NFL Combine and posted a 35-inch vertical jump.This move comes as predicted by Packersnews.com’s Tom Silverstein, who speculated following some roster moves this weekend that a fullback would be coming to Green Bay. Indeed, this addition appears to be necessary given the injuries to Danny Vitale and Malcolm Johnson, the only two fullbacks previously on the roster. Both of those players missed Sunday’s practice, and this is an indication that at least one if not both of them will be out on Tuesday and potentially for Thursday’s preseason game in Baltimore as well. With the fullback serving an important role in Matt LaFleur’s offense, look for Bohanon to jump in immediately and get some playing time on Thursday. GREEN BAY Justin McCray Jersey , Wis. — The Green Bay Packers are winless on the road and there are questions about coach Mike McCarthy’s job security.Packers CoverageBucks’ Wes Matthews loves Wisconsin, is a Vikings fanPreview: Packers look to slow Vikings’ revitalized run gameTop Tweets: Yelich thanks fans for support after season-ending injuryAmos sparks rebuilt Packers defense in debutPackers to be tested again by familiar foe in Zimmer, VikingsPackers’ new-look defense carries offense in season openerPackers Snap Counts: New coach LaFleur gets TEs involvedUpon Further Review: Packers at BearsPHOTOS: Packers at BearsDefense leads the way as Packers top Bears in openerHowever they enter Sunday night’s game at Minnesota trailing the Vikings by just one game for the final NFC wild-card spot.“We fully understand where we are. We understand what our record is,” McCarthy said on Monday. “We need to win on the road. That’s something we haven’t done.”The game against the Vikings will be Green Bay’s fourth road game in five games coming out of their bye. They were tied or ahead in the fourth quarter at the Los Angeles Rams, New England Patriots and again on Thursday against the Seattle Seahawks, but lost all three games.The bad news for the Packers is that the latest defeat left them at 4-5-1. The good news is the NFC playoff chase is jumbled. While Chicago seized control of the NFC North race with its victory over Minnesota on Sunday night, the Vikings (5-4-1) lead the Seattle Seahawks (5-5), Dallas Cowboys (5-5) and Packers in the pursuit for the last playoff spot.“We understand that there’s still a lot of football left,” safety Tramon Williams said. “As long as there’s a lot of football left Preston Smith Jersey , we know that we have a chance to be where we want to be at. Will it be easy? No, but we’re optimistic.”Having played on Thursday, the Packers got a short break to get ready for that game in Seattle. Four starters didn’t travel to Seattle because of injuries — receiver Randall Cobb, safety Kentrell Brice, cornerback Kevin King and outside linebacker Nick Perry.Tight end Jimmy Graham suffered a broken thumb during the first half and defensive tackle Mike Daniels sustained a foot injury during the second half. McCarthy said Graham “intends to try to play” while Daniels will miss a couple of weeks.The return of Cobb and Graham could bolster an inconsistent offense. Green Bay ranks eighth in yards, but only 13th in points because of mediocre production on third down (19th) and in the red zone (14th). Cobb had a huge game in a come-from-behind-victory over Chicago in Week 1 with nine catches for 142 yards, including the game-winning, 75-yard touchdown.Over the past nine games, however Ty Summers Jersey 2019 , he’s been inactive five times and caught 17 passes for 116 yards and no touchdowns. Graham is second on the team with 34 receptions, but has only one catch in three of his past four games.“Everybody is very frustrated. Nobody wants to lose games,” Cobb said. “We don’t go out and work every day in the offseason to come into the season in shape and go through training camp and beat each other up in training camp and go through seasons and lose games. Nobody wants to do that. That’s not fun. We want to win games and we’ve won a lot around here. We’ve got to find a way to get back on track.”The Packers are running out of time, regardless of what the playoff standings suggest. A sixth consecutive road loss on Sunday would put Green Bay two games behind Minnesota (plus the head-to-head tiebreaker) with five to play.Still, the Packers have a chance. They were 4-6 at this point in the 2016 season and reached the NFC championship came. Among the four primary challengers for the last playoff spot, the Packers have the easiest remaining schedule. Their final six opponents have a combined winning percentage of (.425), followed by the Seahawks (.442), Cowboys (.500) and Vikings (.542).“Our reality, it’s where we expect to be Jace Sternberger Green Bay Packer ,” McCarthy said. “Regardless of what anybody’s opinion is, we expect to complete the goal that we set out back in April. That’s the big-picture focus. But it’s not anything we’re talking about right now.“Because part of the message today, there’s not a whole lot to talk about. We know where we are, we knew this four-game stretch was going to be a challenge, we didn’t hit the target as well as we’d like, but now we have six seven-day stretches here. We have full intentions of going to Minnesota and winning this game.”
