Packers integrate Jonnu Smith, Mark Redman and Kaleb Johnson into roster
Summary

The Green Bay Packers added three players to the roster shortly before the start of the regular season. Tight ends Jonnu Smith and Mark Redman, along with running back Kaleb Johnson, joined the team as the organization prepared for the Week 1 game against the Minnesota Vikings. The players began working with the team immediately upon arrival in Green Bay. Head coach Matt LaFleur and the coaching staff have little time to integrate the new arrivals before the opening kickoff. The Packers face Minnesota with a significantly adjusted personnel group on offense. All three players participated in on-field activities as the team transitioned into game-week preparation.
