The Green Bay Packers added depth to the wide receiver position and special teams Tuesday by signing Tavon Austin.
The Packers made room on the roster by releasing receiver Darrius Shepherd.
Austin was the eighth overall pick of the 2013 N-F-L Draft. He doubles as a kick returner and will be eligible to join in today’s (Wednesday’s) team practice.
Shepherd might be added to the practice squad if he clears waivers. He was promoted to the active roster on September 26th. In eight games, he had five catches for 46 yards.
