Packers Sign CB Calvin Carlyle To Practice Squad; Waive LB Slaughter
posted 12/09/2003
The Green Bay Packers have signed free agent cornerback Calvin Carlyle to the team's practice squad, GM/Head Coach Mike Sherman announced Tuesday.
Originally signed by Indianapolis out of Oregon State as an undrafted free agent May 2, 2003, the 5-11, 191-pound Carlyle spent training camp and most of the preseason with the Colts before being placed on waivers Aug. 26.
He subsequently was signed as a free agent by the Washington Redskins Oct. 28. A game-day inactive the following weekend, Nov. 2, he was waived Nov. 4 and had been out football until signed by the Packers.
As a collegian, Carlyle was a five-year player at Oregon State and started 36 of 48 games at cornerback. He closed out his career with 177 tackles, including 124 solo, and 3 interceptions. A safety as a senior, he recorded 47 tackles in 2002, 33 solo, posting 2 interceptions and being credited with 8 passes defensed.
Born in St. Thomas, Jamaica, Carlyle attended Dorsey (Los Angeles, Calif.) High School, where he was a two-year letterman and starter at strong safety and linebacker.
The newcomer has been assigned jersey No. 23.
In another transaction, the Packers waived linebacker T.J. Slaughter from the team's 53-man active roster, Sherman announced. |
