Packers Add Ray Dominguez From Practice Squad

by Brandon on Oct 12, 2011 3:18 PM CDT in Green Bay Packers News

The Packers reported that they've added undrafted rookie OL Ray Dominguez to the active roster. He's been on the practice squad since the start of the season, and he replaces S Nick Collins who was finally placed on injured reserve.

As the Press-Gazette noted, if RT Bryan Bulaga can't play on Sunday, he returned to practice on Wednesday wearing a brace, their only backup lineman would be Evan Dietrich-Smith. Depending on whether Bulaga starts, Dominguez could be active on Sunday for depth.

The good news is that Dominguez has experience at guard and tackle, and played both positions for the Packers this preseason, but he wasn't very good at either one of them. The Packers had a collection of struggling undrafted players battling for a backup job, and Dominguez was the best of the bunch. They had tried out a couple lineman in the last couple weeks, but they couldn't find anyone better than Dominguez.

Just in time for the Vikings in 2 weeks!

I already told you! I deal with the god damn receivers so the linebackers don’t have to! I have coverage skills; I’m good at covering people! Can’t you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?!

I think I heard of Curry going to the Raiders, this may have been what TT was waiting for before replacing Collins.

I really hope Bulaga comes back soon. Anyone hear any news on Cliffy’s hamstring?

Won't for a couple weeks according to McCarthy.

I'm happy about this.

Looked much more serious than that, especially with his age. Can handle him coming back after the bye.

Hope that guy that was on the other thread doesn't see this, or I have a "derp" coming my way!

Seattle will receive a seventh-round pick in 2012 and a mid-round conditional pick (fourth or fifth round) in 2013 based on Curry’s playing time with Oakland, a source told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen.
