Another Chance For DeShawn Wynn » Brats & Beer

There must be something about DeShawn Wynn that Ted Thompson really likes, because the former Florida Gator was one of eight players signed by the Packers to the practice squad. This baffles me a little because Wynn so far has pretty much been a washout since his selection in the 2007 draft due to a series of injuries, but the thinking at 1265 Lombardi Ave. is obviously different from mine.

Also signed to the practice team were tight end Joey Haynos, who showed some promise in the pre-season and could develop into a decent player, defensive tackle Alfred Malone, and seventh-round draft pick Brett Swain. Scorpio Babers, unfortunately, did not make the cut.

UPDATE: During his press conference today, TT said the Packers did not make any claims on players waived yesterday. Long snapper, anyone?
