Raiders sign Brandian Ross off Packers practice squad
« on: September 19, 2012, 03:24:55 PM »
Congrats to Brandian - earning the NFL paycheck!

The Oakland Raiders Wednesday signed to the active roster CB Brandian Ross from the Green Bay Packers’ practice squad. The Raiders also added two players to their practice squad, signing DB Akwasi Owusu-Ansah and re-signing DT Vaughn Meatoga.
The 6-foot-1, 191-pound Ross, whose first name is pronounced BRAN-don, was on the Packers’ active roster to begin the 2012 season and was inactive for the season opener against San Francisco. He was waived on Sept. 10 when the Packers activated LB Erik Walden, and re-signed to Green Bay’s practice squad on Sept. 12.
Ross was initially signed by Green Bay as a non-drafted free agent out of Youngstown State in 2011, and spent the entire season on the Packers’ practice squad.

Always happy for any of our kids that make it to
the NFL, only because it is what they want.  I
would rather they .... never mind doesn't matter
what I would wish.

Good luck....GOOD HEALTH....be safe.
