Packers Get Secondary Help by Activating Ibraheim Campbell off PUP
By Mark Powell
After a disappointing showing in Los Angeles last Sunday in which their defense was exposed on multiple levels, the Green Bay Packers have made a minor roster move they hope help avoids such a dilemma in the future.
Green Bay is activating Ibraheim Campbell off PUP, a player who actually started a game for the Packers last season and appeared in two others. The oft-injured DB will step right into the secondary in a backup role, while LB Tim Williams was released to make room on the roster.
