The Green Bay Packers reportedly are showing interest in a linebacker following important injury news regarding starting linebacker De’Vondre Campbell.
Campbell sustained a serious enough ankle injury that he missed several practices last week. A scooter and walking boot was seen near Campbell’s locker this week. General manager Brian Gutekinst seemed confident Campbell would return before the Packers’ Week 1 regular season game against the Chicago Bears.

But the Packers are still looking to add players to the position.
According to Aaron Wilson with KPRC, the Packers are working out UDFA Marvin Pierre. Pierre flashes excellent speed. The Arizona Cardinals initially signed Pierre after the draft.
