Culp is an undrafted rookie who played for four different college programs over six seasons (Austin Peay, Troy, Charlotte and James Madison). He originally signed with the Arizona Cardinals, coached by Matt LaFleur\u2019s brother, before signing with the Indianapolis Colts\u2019 practice squad in late September. He was released by the Colts last week and previously had a workout with the New York Giants prior to signing with Indianapolis.<\/p>\n
Worth noting: Culp\u2019s defensive coordinator in Arizona is Nick Rallis, who also served as the defensive coordinator under then-head coach Jonathan Gannon, now the Packers\u2019 defensive coordinator. It\u2019s possible that he has familiarity with the scheme.<\/p>\n
Currently, here\u2019s the breakdown of the Packers\u2019 practice squad:<\/p>\n
Of the 17 players on the practice squad, only 7 of them were Packers at the end of training camp: Neyor, Dabney, Cooper, Wade, Kelly, Mosby and Jackson. The other 10 players were outside signings made by Green Bay.<\/p>\n
The fact that the Packers parted ways with Gesky is interesting, as the team has an open roster spot on the 53-man roster, and they\u2019re expected to have another open spot once defensive lineman Javon Hargrave (Achilles) goes on the injured reserve for his season-ending injury. Green Bay could have easily moved up a practice squad player and added Culp without losing their rights to Gesky, if they wanted to, but elected to not go down that route.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Culp is an undrafted rookie who played for four different college programs over six seasons (Austin Peay, Troy,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":882123,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[18811,18815,349,99],"class_list":["post-882122","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-green-bay-packers-news","tag-green-bay-packers-roster","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/882122","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=882122"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/882122\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/882123"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=882122"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=882122"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=882122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
