Packers Get Grant

The Packers acquired running back Ryan Grant from the New York Giants for an undisclosed future draft pick. Grant, a graduate of Notre Dame, spent the 2005 season on the Giants' practice squad and the 2006 season on injured reserve. The Packers were in desperate need of a wide receiver with backs Vernand Morrency out with a knee injury, Noah Herron out with a sprained knee, and Brandon Jackson with a concussion. The aquisition of Grant will likely end the rumors of the Packers getting Corey Dillon, Michael Turner, or any other RB.
