That's awesome for PJ. Morency hurt his back Sunday, so Pope is behind Ahman Green and Noah Herron on the depth chart. He will probably get a chance to see the field, at least on special teams, this Sunday against the Bills.

The Pack did a similar thing last year when they signed Samkon Gado off of K.C's practice squad. And Gado played quite a bit for the Packers before they traded him to the Texans this year. Hopefully a similar thing will occur for PJ and he can get some decent playing time.

GO PACK GO! (actually I'm hoping we lose out and get some decent draft picks)!

As a Bears fan, it makes me, one, cringe to have seen the Bears let him go back when they did, and two, see him go to the Packers. But I am very happy to see him land somewhere and wish a bunch of luck.

Congrats to Pope, I wish him the best, just not against the Bears.

PJ will wear number 28 on Sunday. I always thought a number in the 30's was more suited for him. Good luck PJ!

Uhmmm, the newscast last night on Toledo TV said he was signed to the practice squad. Is he on the actual roster or the PS?????

Any NFL guru will correct me if I am wrong, but I believe in order to be signed away from another team's practice squad the player must be put on the active roster.
