GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Linebacker Kristian
Welch is rejoining the Green Bay Packers, a team he previously
played for in 2023.
The Packers announced the signing of Welch on Friday.
The 26-year-old Welch played six games with the Denver Broncos
and nine games with the Baltimore Ravens last season. He made
one start for each of those teams and had a fumble recovery for
the Ravens.
He had joined the Packers’ practice squad in 2023, eventually
got elevated to the active roster and ended up playing in 12
regular-season games and two playoff contests. Welch didn’t play
a defensive snap that year but was on the field for nearly half
of the Packers’ special-teams plays and made six tackles.
Welch has played in 72 career regular-season games, making 13
tackles on defense and 27 more on special teams. The former
undrafted free agent from Iowa played for Baltimore from 2020-22
before joining the Packers the first time.
The Packers also announced Friday that they're hiring Kevin
Manara as general counsel. Manara had worked as the Arizona
Cardinals' general counsel since July 2023 and previously was
senior vice president and general counsel for the Las Vegas
Raiders.
