The Green Bay Packers shuffled the bottom of their roster on Saturday, placing offensive tackle Yosh Nijman on injured reserve and signing offensive tackle John Leglue from the New Orleans Saints’ practice squad.

Nijman, a rookie, was ruled out for Week 16 with an elbow injury. He’ll miss the rest of the 2019 season.

Leglue (6-6, 301) is a rookie out of Tulane. He started 38 games over four different positions in college and originally signed with the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent. He joined the Saints practice squad following training camp.

Leglue joins Jared Veldheer and Alex Light as backups at offensive tackle behind starters David Bakhtiari and Bryan Bulaga.

I’ve been dreaming of the opportunity to play on the 53 man roster for a team ever since I started playing the sport and last night when the @Packers called to tell me they were activating me, they made that dream come true! Can’t wait to get to work! #GeauxPackGeaux pic.twitter.com/ZoIJKAflPe
