Just a few days after starting linebacker De’Vondre Campbell was forced to miss their Week 4 game, the Green Bay Packers worked out a linebacker.
Against the New Orleans Saints in Week 3, Campbell suffered an ankle injury.
Campbell was absent from all three workouts last week.
The veteran may not return in time for the Packers’ Monday Night Football game against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5. However, one might assume Campbell’s injury is not serious given that the Packers haven’t placed him on injured reserve.
Olakunle Fatukasi received training from the Green Bay Packers.
This week, the Packers are trying to fill the vacancy.
Linebacker Olakunle Fatukasi was tested by the Packers on Monday, claims Rob Demovsky.
Fatukasi, a UDFA who was originally signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, battled his way onto the 53-man roster following training camp.
Before being released in December of last year, he participated in 13 games for the Buccaneers.
This August during training camp, Fatukasi spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs and the New England Patriots. He was terminated with an injury settlement after suffering an injury during the Chiefs’ training camp.
As of this writing, Fatukasi has not been signed by the Packers.
Given his youth and NFL game experience, he could, however, be an intriguing signing for the practice squad.
