The Green Bay Packers are adding a pair of defensive reinforcements from the practice squad for Saturday’s playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams.
The team elevated cornerback KeiVarae Russell and defensive lineman Brian Price from the practice squad to the gameday roster.
The Packers previously elevated Russell from the practice squad for the team’s Week 10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He played seven special teams snaps. Once a third-round pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016, Russell has never played in a playoff game.
Russell wears No. 34.
Price played in games against the Tennessee Titans and Chicago Bears as a gameday elevation to end the season. The fifth-year pro played 12 snaps on defense and five more on special teams.
Price wears No. 78.
The Packers are healthy are cornerback, meaning Russell’s role will likely come on special teams. Price provides extra depth along the defensive line with Kingsley Keke listed as doubtful.
