The Packers will be at full strength when they open training camp Saturday afternoon
Defensive tackle Justin Harrell, the team's first-round pick in the 2007 Draft, agreed to terms on Friday night and will be at the first practice. Earlier in the day, the team signed third-round wide receiver James Jones and free agent center C.J. Blomvall.
Harrell, who played in college at Tennessee, is recovering from a ruptured biceps that forced him to the sideline after three games in his senior season. In 35 games (25 starts), Harrell compiled 82 tackles, four sacks and two interceptions.
Jones, a 6-foot-1, 207-pound player from San Jose State, was named second-team All-Western Athletic Conference and team MVP with a career-high 70 catches for 893 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2006. First-round pick Justin Harrell is the only rookie remaining to be signed.
Blomvall, a native of Sweden, has played the past two seasons for the Hamburg Sea Devils of NFL Europa. He played two seasons at Temple University, where he served as team captain as a 2004 senior. He will wear No. 71.
General manager Ted Thompson also announced the signing of Carl-Johan Bjork, who will remain on the team's practice squad during the 2007 season as part of the NFL International Development Practice Squad Program. Bjork will wear No. 47.
