Asked if the Packers were fortunate to get a player of Breeland’s quality at this point in the year because of the injury, coach Mike McCarthy replied: “I think he’s an excellent addition, especially at this point in the season. Timing (wise), we’re fortunate. I know the personnel department was excited after his workout. I’m glad he’s part of our football team.”

Breeland said he felt the foot has been 100 percent for the past few months but that teams still had reservations. Since then, he estimated he visited at least 13 of the NFL’s 32 teams, then got the call from the Packers on Monday. Breeland said he’s not worried about getting up to speed with the Packers playbook, having been through various defensive schemes during his time with Washington. He admitted he doesn’t know how much he’ll play Sunday.

“I feel like I’m at a point to come here and prove that I’m still that player that I was last year,” Breeland said. “It’s hard not being out there playing on first team or playing every down like I’m accustomed to, but at this point, I have to adapt to the situation, and I’m going to grow as best I can and do everything I can to get on the field as quick as possible.”
