While the hometown Brewers Magic Number sits at 3 pending what the Cardinals do tonight, a transaction concerning the Packers practice squad is the angle here. WR Chastin West was signed off the Packers practice squad onto the Jaguars active roster. No news concerning the practice squad should be labeled as big news, but West is a guy many writers had pegged to take over for Donald Driver, perhaps as soon as next season. Some even speculated that his strong camp in 2011 made Driver expendable entering the current campaign.
Green Bay replaced him on the practice squad with DL Johnny Jones, a 310 pound undrafted rookie out of Marshall who had a cup of coffee in the Dolphins camp prior to being waived. The move is a healthy one for the team, as it enjoys incredible depth at its WR position on the active roster and still has Tori Gurley and Diondre Borel at the position on the PC as well as Shaky Smithson on the IR. The DL is far and away the thinnest position on the team.
