There was really no reason to risk getting re-injured or injured in any other way out there. Smart move by the Pack.

They should be fined for this. He’s not injured. You can’t just stick him on IR for the extra roster spot without an injury. 

 

To be fair, at this point in his career he’s likely walking around with 3 different injuries that SHOULD have him sitting any given week.

 

The term “healthy” for a vet is pretty fluid and I’d think it’s a lot harder to prove a guy is 100% than a guy has some sort of nagging injury or risk.

 

it opens an interesting discussion though

Yeah. One of those things that's impossible to prove.

Releasing him would be moot.  He's a vested veteran so he wouldn't be subjected to waivers, meaning he'd be a free agent immediately, and he'd re-sign with the Packers anyway.  It would just be a lot of paperwork for nothing.

Not true if they were forced to release him with the trade deadline passed.  He would be subject to waivers.

The league probably approved it because they probably believe releasing him would be moot as well.

 

This is not correct.
