Around Town
KRISTIAN WELCH: From Yardbarker: “Linebacker Kristian Welch did just about everything he could to make the roster with his strong play in the preseason. He made a pair of interceptions in his attempt to show he could be effective on defense and not just play on special teams.
“Unfortunately for the Iola, Wisconsin native, the Packers have talent and depth at linebacker after adding Edgerrin Cooper and Ty’Ron Hopper on day two of this year’s draft.
“Welch was a mainstay on special teams last year. If he passes through waivers, the Packers are likely to add him to the practice squad. Don’t be surprised if Welch is elevated for a few games this season or even added to the roster later in the season.”
