Robin Adams of Wisconsin Sports Heroics broke the news to us first:
The Packers signed James Robinson, who had spent three weeks on the Packers’ practice squad earlier in the season, in an effort to ensure that they could field a playable offense. Prior to the game against Detroit, he was signed to their practice squad once more. Running back Patrick Taylor, who was released by the Green Bay Packers earlier this season, was signed to their 53-man roster off the practice squad of the New England Patriots.
The Packers also added depth at wide receiver by promoting Bo Melton from the practice squad. He was signed by Green Bay in December of last season after being drafted in the seventh round by the Seattle Seahawks in 2022. He was signed to their practice squad after failing to make the team out of training camp this year.
