Packers Add RB Purify To Practice Squad
posted 09/28/2005
The Green Bay Packers have signed running back Bobby Purify to the practice squad. To make room on the eight-man developmental unit, the team has released running back Antoineo Harris. Ted Thompson, Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations, announced the moves Wednesday.
Purify, a 6-foot, 210-pound rookie out of Colorado, spent the summer and preseason with the San Francisco 49ers, who waived him in their final roster reduction earlier this month. The 49ers' second-leading rusher in preseason action, he averaged 4.0 yards on 20 carries (79 yards), and added five receptions for 24 yards.
A non-drafted free agent, Purify signed with San Francisco after rushing for 3,016 yards, third in school history, at Colorado. |
