Report: Packers attempted to sign DL Snacks Harrison off Seahawks practice squad
The #Packers and #Ravens both tried today to sign DT Snacks Harrison off Seattle's practice squad, I'm told. Instead, Snacks — who was out of elevations — officially signed to the #Seahawks active roster and now will go try to get a ring.

Another attempt by the Green Bay Packers to acquire veteran defensive lineman Damon “Snacks” Harrison has failed.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Packers tried to sign Harrison off of the Seattle Seahawks’ practice squad, but the Seahawks instead elevated Harrison to the team’s 53-man roster on Monday.
The Packers previously attempted to sign Harrison, but he decided to sign with the Seahawks practice squad on Oct. 7.
The Seahawks elevated Harrison to the gameday roster twice this season. He played 45 defensive snaps and had one tackle.
A dominant run defender who has previously played for Packers defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, Harrison could have provided the Green Bay defense with help along the defensive line, especially against the run.
The Baltimore Ravens also tried to sign Harrison, per Pelissero’s report.
Harrison played the 2018 and 2019 seasons with the Detroit Lions. He was a first-team All-Pro as a member of the New York Giants in 2016.
