​The Packers are looking to add depth to their thin secondary. With safety Morgan Burnett and cornerback Quinten Rollins questionable for Sunday's NFC Championship game, the Packers' newest addition could end up playing before year's end.





Bene' Benwikere, who was a part of the Carolina Panthers Super Bowl team last year, played just four games for the Panthers this season before being cut. But the 25-year-old has landed a spot with Green Bay and could be returning to the Super Bowl for the second straight season.

​​Benwikere was cut after the Panthers struggled out of the gate in pass coverage. His release came directly following a Week 4 matchup where the Panthers allowed 300 receiving yards to Julio Jones alone. According to Pro Football Focus, Benwikere was covering Jones for 220 of his 300 yards.





After he was released from the Panthers, the Dolphins claimed Benwikere off of waivers, but he never played a snap for Miami.

Though Ron Rivera and company decided it was time to ​"move on" from Benwikere, the Packers have found a spot for him, at least for the time being.





In 27 career games, Benwikere totaled 102 tackles to go along with two interceptions and three fumble recoveries.
