The Green Bay Packers will send eight players overseas to participate in NFL Europe, assistant director of pro personnel Sean Howard said Tuesday.
That's up one from the original list of seven players after the addition of safety Bobby Jackson.
Named for allocation to the NFL's developmental league January 22 were wide receivers Brian Haugabrook and Travis Williams, linebackers Isaac Keys and Jermaine Petty, punter Tim Morgan, safety Jeremy Unertl and wide receiver/return specialist Shawn Mills.
Only the Chicago Bears, with 13, and the Kansas City Chiefs, with 10, allocated more players to NFLE than the Packers.
NFLE team assignments also were announced Tuesday.
Jackson, Keys and Petty will join forces with the Scottish Claymores. Haugabrook and Unertl will suit up for the Frankfurt Galaxy. Mills is the lone Packers representative with the Rhein Fire. Williams is the lone representative with the Amsterdam Admirals.
Morgan will attend the NFLE kickers/punters training camp before being assigned to a team.
The 10-week NFLE season gets underway April 5, leading toward World Bowl XI in Glasgow, Scotland, June 14.
