'Big-time pickup': Packers excited about Damon 'Snacks' Harrison - Packers.com

The defensive front is coming off arguably its best performance of the season during last Sunday's 40-14 win over the Tennessee Titans. Green Bay held All-Pro running back Derrick Henry to just 98 rushing yards on 23 carries, while sacking Ryan Tannehill three times and helping force two interceptions.

As well as the defense has played the run over the past month, the Packers have done it with a short rotation of Clark, Dean Lowry, Kingsley Keke and Tyler Lancaster on the D-line. Bringing in Harrison is almost a callback to the Packers' 2010 Super Bowl push when the veteran Green was claimed off waivers to join Ryan Pickett and B.J. Raji on the line.

When injuries have flared up, General Manager Brian Gutekunst hasn't been shy about seeking outside help. He claimed tackle Jared Veldheer and running back/returner Tyler Ervin during the final stretch of last season, and he signed defensive lineman Billy Winn (currently on IR) and receiver/returner Tavon Austin this year.

On the eve of the playoffs, the Packers have done it again with the addition of Harrison.

"I know what he's all about as a player. He's always been a problem to block," LaFleur said. "Obviously Gutey was all over it, and our scouting department, that's a big-time pickup for us, especially this late in the season."
