GREEN BAY – The Packers have added veteran Ryan Grant to their receiving corps, signing the 6-foot, 194-pound free agent on Wednesday.
Here are five things to know about him:
1. This is not the same Ryan Grant who used to play for the Packers.
The former Packers running back, Ryan Grant, hasn’t played since 2012. This Ryan Grant was most recently with the Raiders, actually beginning the 2019 season with them and catching three passes for 16 yards in Oakland’s Monday night victory over Denver in Week 1. The Raiders released him in late September.
2. The Packers are his fourth team.
Grant entered the league in 2014 with Washington and played four seasons there before moving on to Indianapolis last year and then Oakland. For his career, he has 123 receptions for 1,333 yards and seven touchdowns. Last year, he was actually in line to get a multi-year contract from Baltimore as a free agent, but he failed his physical apparently due to an ankle injury and ultimately signed a one-year deal with Indy.
