The Packers may soon be getting some reinforcements at the offensive tackle position.
First, the Packers worked out veteran Mark Tauscher on Tuesday and could potentially sign him if everything falls into place. Tauscher, the Packers' starting right tackle for nine seasons from 2000-2008, tore an ACL in his knee in Week 14 vs. Houston last season and was in the final year of his contract, so he's been rehabbing since then and looking to get back into the game.
Head Coach Mike McCarthy said that team physician Dr. Pat McKenzie's timeline for Tauscher's rehab was that he could potentially be ready to play again in October, so the Packers brought him in for a visit. Tauscher had worked out for the Kansas City Chiefs last week.
"He's played a ton of football for us in this scheme from Day One," McCarthy said. "So just to have his experience and everything back in the (locker) room I think is definitely an asset."
If Tauscher is signed, how soon he coul..
