The Packers have signed veteran wide receiver Ryan Grant, as Field Yates of ESPN.com tweets. To make room, they waived running back Tra Carson. 
Grant, 29 in December, caught just four passes for just 14 yards with Oakland this season. However, he snagged 35 passes for 334 yards with the Colts in 2018. The Raiders released Grant in late September and he worked out for the Patriots and Vikings before landing in Green Bay.
Carson, 27 next week, was promoted from the taxi squad just recently. He saw a grand total of six carries and rushed for just 14 yards with the Packers.
After edging out the Lions on Monday night, the Packers will face the Raiders – Grant’s former team – on Sunday afternoon.
Why is Sheppard still on this team?!?
Why wouldn’t he be? He caught a punt he should have fair caught. He slipped on a play that ended in an int. He’s actually one of the few receivers who gets open.
He fumbled the punt he should have fair caught. I agree with MBarry, I’m surprised he’s still on the team. He looked bad the whole game against the Lions.
