It is hard enough for a player to join a team in Week 12, even more so when it happens during a short week, but that is exactly the challenge that newly signed cornerback Josh Bell will face this week leading up to Thursday's game at Detroit.

Bell, who signed with the Packers on Tuesday, practiced with the team on Tuesday and is "definitely an option to play" at Detroit according to Head Coach Mike McCarthy.

With Green Bay losing veteran cornerback Al Harris to a season-ending knee injury Sunday against San Francisco, nickel back Tramon Williams is expected to move up and take Harris' place in the starting lineup opposite Charles Woodson. After Harris left the game, dime back Jarrett Bush moved into the nickel role with rookie Brandon Underwood taking his first defensive snaps of the season as the dime back.

The Packers have had five cornerbacks on the 45-man roster in all 10 games this year, so if Bell is active in case of injury or to play on special team..
