The divisional game loss to the Detroit Lions was a tough blow to the Packerswho now want to take steps in their selection. Love had one interception last game and will have new energy for the Week 11 game after a bye week against the Chicago Bears. At the same time, a practice squad name will be added to Green Bay’s roster.

Love’s teammate joining the Packers is none other than cornerback Robert Rochell, who joins the 53-man roster midway through the current season. The 26-year-old was not promoted to the practice squad, meaning he needed a contract to play.

Rochell played in four games for the Packers this year, three of which were as part of game day. In his career, he appeared in 41 regular season games, with five starts for his former team, the Los Angeles Rams, and for the Green Bay franchise, which he joined in 2023.
