Secondly, this opens a spot on Green Bay’s practice squad, but only for a player who can be granted an international exemption. Essentially, the practice squad is a 17-man unit, but one of those players has to be an international exemption player.
As of now, the Packers have not made a corresponding roster move. In the coming days, though, look for them to add an international player. McNamee was just the Packers’ third international exemption player, following Hale and defensive end Kenneth Odumegwu.
