Drake Dabney: Everything you need to know

The Packers signed Dabney to a reserve/future contract Monday. Dabney was elevated for Green Bay's final two games of the regular season as additional depth at tight end. The 23-year-old reeled in one of two targets for three yards in Week 18 before returning to the practice squad for the playoffs. The product out of TCU will participate in the Packers' offseason activities and attempt to earn a spot on the team's active roster next season.

Dabney reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Dabney was elevated to the active roster for the second straight week ahead of Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Vikings, reeling in one of two targets for three yards while playing 45 of the team's 51 offensive snaps. He outpaced both Josh Whyle (37) and Luke Musgrave (two) in snaps on offense as the Packers opted to rest their starters as much as possible. Additionally, Dabney jumped on the loose ball after quarterback Clayton Tune fumbled in the first quarter, maintaining possession for Green Bay. Dabney could be asked to join the active roster again in Saturday's matchup with the Bears in the wild-card round.

The Packers elevated Dabney from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings. Week 18 will be Dabney's second consecutive elevation, as the tight end logged seven offensive snaps and seven special-teams snaps in last Saturday's loss to the Ravens. The 23-year-old will likely once again operate as a supplemental blocking tight end behind Luke Musgrave and Josh Whyle due to the absences of Tucker Kraft (ACL) and John FitzPatrick (Achilles).
