Going back to Green Bay Welch signed with the Packers on Friday, Zach Kruse of USA Today reports.

Impact Welch previously played for Green Bay in 2023, when he appeared in 14 regular-season games exclusively as a special-teamer. The veteran linebacker saw time in 2024 with Baltimore and Denver, again working primarily in a special-teams role. Welch will likely reprise his status as a core special-teamer with the Packers next season but could log occasional defensive snaps as a depth linebacker.

Clears protocols, ready for action Welch (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Impact Welch logged a pair of limited practices before upgrading to full activity in Friday's session due to concussion protocols, and he's since been given the green light to suit up in Pittsburgh this weekend. The 24-year-old is expected to operate in his usual role as a special-teams contributor.

Iffy for Sunday Welch (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.

Impact Welch suffered a concussion in Week 13 but was able to record back-to-back limited sessions before ending Week 14 prep as a full participant. He appears to be trending in the right direction, but if Welch is sidelined, Malik Harrison would likely step up as the top reserve linebacker behind Patrick Queen (thigh) and Roquan Smith.
