Packers’ Long Snapper Goode On IR, Pepper Acquired

Green Bay Packers’ long snapper Brett Goode has been put on injured reserve with a hamstring injury from Sunday’s home win against Cincinnati. The Packers brought back Taybor Pepper, who was in Green Bay’s offseason workouts before being cut in May — and he was later in the Baltimore Ravens’ training camp. Pepper was working in his mom’s consignment shop in Champaign, Illinois when the Packers called him right after Sunday’s game. The 32-year-old Goode was hurt in the early in the game but played through it — and had he not, tight end Richard Rodgers would have done the long snapping for punts, field goals, and extra points. Meanwhile, running back Ty Montgomery has been added to the Packers’ long injury report with a bad wrist — and defensive tackle Quintin Dial has a chest problem — as the Pack practices today (Tuesday) to get ready for Thursday night’s home contest against the Chicago Bears.
