GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – With less than 24 hours until kickoff in Chicago, the Packers have announced a few roster moves before taking on the Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday.

The first was the signing of Robert Rochell from the practice squad to the active roster. Rochell played in four games for Green Bay this year, three of which were gameday calls. The big move, however, was the Packers placing offensive lineman Jordan Morgan on injured reserve.
