Overview
- Green Bay signed third-year defensive tackle Jordon Riley to its 53-man roster on December 3, pulling him from the New York Giants’ practice squad.
- Coaches and reporting indicate Riley will bolster nose tackle depth rather than replace Wyatt’s three-technique role, with Karl Brooks and rookie Warren Brinson expected to absorb most of those snaps.
- A 2023 seventh-round pick, Riley appeared in 21 games with five starts for the Giants over two seasons, recording 20 tackles, four tackles for loss and one quarterback hit.
- The Packers’ interior rotation now features Brooks, Brinson, Colby Wooden, Nazir Stackhouse and Riley, with Brooks spotted practicing this week after recent absences.
- New York loses a developmental lineman from its 2023 draft class, a departure that further thins defensive-line depth and has drawn renewed scrutiny of that group’s returns.
