Caleb Jones Signs with Patriots Practice Squad

Former Green Bay Packers players Caleb Jones and Kenneth Odumegwu have signed with the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks practice squads, respectively, ahead of the NFL's Week 1. Jones, an offensive tackle, was previously on the Packers' roster for two seasons but lost his spot in training camp, while Odumegwu, a Nigerian defensive end, was released by the Packers after spending last season on their practice squad. The Patriots released Brevin Allen to make room for Jones, who adds experience to their offensive line. Odumegwu's signing allows the Seahawks to expand their practice squad to 17 players as they integrate him as their international player. Both players face challenges in securing active roster spots, with Jones aiming to impress in his new role and Odumegwu continuing to develop with Seattle's defense. These moves highlight critical career phases for both athletes as they seek to establish themselves in the NFL.
