Evan Royster has a strained right patella tendon, and Roy Helu Jr. has a left foot injury, leaving no healthy backup behind rookie starter Alfred Morris. Grant spent five seasons with the Packers. His best season was 2009, when he ran for 1,253 yards.
Grant worked out Tuesday for the Chicago Bears, according to a league source.
Adds some depth to a beaten up backfield. Somewhat surprising we didn't turn to Tim Hightower who better understands our system and is more comfortable with the coaches/personnel. I have to believe it's because either Hightower is not fully recovered or there may be some bad feelings there that he was cut. Either way, Grant is a solid guy that can add some depth.
