While everyone waits to see how their quarterback is doing, the Packers have made a move to add to their backfield.

According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, the Packers have signed running back Kahlil Bell.

The Packers were running short there after placing Johnathan Franklin on IR last week because of a neck injury, down to Eddie Lacy and James Starks.

Bell’s best game came against the Packers when he was a member of the Bears, running for 121 yards on Christmas 2011.

He was in camp with the Jets this year but was released in final cuts.
