The Green Bay Packers announced Wednesday that they’ve made a number of roster moves ahead of their Week 18 regular season finale.
The full list includes:
- Packers signed QB Clayton Tune and S Johnathan Baldwin to their active roster.
- Packers placed S Zayne Anderson and CB Nate Hobbs on injured reserve.
- Packers signed G Karsen Barnhart, CB Tyron Herring and QB Desmond Ridder to their practice squad.
The Packers also reportedly claimed CB Trevon Diggs off waivers from the Cowboys.
Ridder, 25, was a four-year starter at Cincinnati and quarterbacked the school to a berth in the College Football Playoff in 2021, the first time ever a non-Power 5 school had earned that distinction. The Falcons used the No. 74 overall pick in the third round on him in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Ridder signed a four-year $5,362,959 contract that includes a $1,080,334 signing bonus with the Falcons. He was entering the third year of his deal and was set to make a salary of $985,000 in 2024 when Atlanta traded him to the Cardinals for WR Rondale Moore.
The Raiders signed Ridder off Arizona’s practice squad during the season. Las Vegas declined to tender Ridder an offer as a restricted free agent in February.
Ridder joined the Bengals in July but was among their final roster cuts. He’s been on and off of the Vikings’ roster ever since. Minnesota cut him at the beginning of December.
In 2024, Ridder appeared in six games for the Raiders and completed 52 of 85 pass attempts (61.2 percent) for 458 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
