A rookie offensive lineman will make his NFL debut Saturday night for the Green Bay Packers.
The team lifted goalie Zack Johnson from the training squad to the day list for week 15 against the Carolina Panthers.
Johnson, a free agent in North Dakota, has been with the Packers since late April. He was enrolled in the training team after the training camp.
Johnson (6-6, 301) started the last 46 games of his college career and has experience in both guarding and attacking, although the Packers list him as a goalkeeper.
Teams are allowed to lift one player from the training team twice in a season. Johnson has not yet been raised in 2020.
The Packers probably want more depth along the offensive line and are out of quota for Ben Braden, who was on the roster for the games against the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions. One height was the COVID-19 replacement.
Johnson wears the number 68.
The Packers and Panthers are scheduled for a 19:15 start at Lambeau Field on Saturday night.
