Per JP Finlay of NBA Sports Talk Washington, the Green Bay Packers have claimed special teams specialist Kapri Bibbs off of waivers.
The Washington Redskins were hoping to get Kapri Bibbs back to practice squad, but the Packers seized the opportunity to improve their depth first.
Bibbs has been in the NFL for four seasons. He is used as a running back as well as a reciever. For the Redskins this season, Bibbs had run for 100 yards, averaging 5 yards a carry and has 3 total touchdowns. He also had 13 receptions for 102 yards and 1 touchdown.
The Packers are 5-8-1 and will not be able to make the playoffs unless a miracle happens. They fired head coach Mike McCarthy half way through the season and have been a hot mess since. The Packers average 23.7 points per game on the season, sitting at 16th in the NFL. The Packers also give up 23.6 points per game which ranks 17th in the NFL.
This past weekend the Chicago Bears handily defeated their NFC North rivals the Packers by a score of 24-17. Rodgers had hardly any time to throw in the pocket, and the Bears front four did an excellent job pressuring him without the use of blitzes.
The Bears often run a nickel defense with 5 defensive backs. This hurts teams because their defensive line usually contains running attempts at the line of scrimmage. Rodgers was able to throw for 274 yards and only one interception, but had no touchdown passes and was sacked five times.
The Packers will play the Jets in New York next Sunday in Week 16.
