Filling out their practice squad, the Green Bay Packers have re-signed tight end Tony Donald, GM/Head Coach Mike Sherman announced Wednesday.
Donald, who had signed a reserve future contract January 7 and was activated from reserve January 28, subsequently spent the preseason on the Green Bay roster, posting 2 special teams tackles before being waived August 30 in the team's final roster reduction to the 53-man regular-season limit.

The tight end has been assigned jersey number 41.
