The Green Bay Packers signed tight end James Adkisson to the practice squad Wednesday. Ted Thompson, Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations, made the announcement.
A second-year player from South Carolina, Adkisson played in two games for the Oakland Raiders in 2006. The 6-foot-4, 250-pound tight end spent the 2005 season on the Raiders' practice squad before he was signed to the active roster for the final regular season game.
A wide receiver in college, Adkisson spent time on the Raiders' practice squad in 2004 and played for the Cologne Centurions in NFL Europe that same year. He will wear No. 49.
