Goode served as Green Bay’s primary long snapper from 2008-15, playing in 126 regular-season games and 11 playoff contests. He appeared in 14 games in 2015 before sustaining a season-ending knee injury at Oakland in Week 15. Goode will wear No. 61 for the Packers.

In 2015, he led the Lobos with 907 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns. As a junior, he rushed for 1,083 yards and 12 touchdowns on 114 carries, leading the nation with a 9.5 yards-per-carry average. Pressley will wear No. 26 for the Packers.
Nine of the 10 signees to the practice squad were with the Packers during the 2015 offseason and/or preseason.

That's a very good, solid practice squad, imo. I thought for sure a couple of them made the team (Allison & Bradford). Price and Gilbert also had solid flashes this camp. I hope they're able to hide them and hold on to them!
 
Packers have signed TE Devon Cajuste to the practice squad and released ILB Beniquez Brown. Cajuste spent training camp with the 49ers.
 
The clip of him returning a KO for the Vikes is pretty impressive. Not so much the speed, although he did stay ahead of the guys chasing him. To me, it was his ability to stay on his feet, despite getting hit numerous times.
