Striker Jared Veldheer, who replaced the Indianapolis Colts left Anthony Castonzo’s tackle during the AFC Wild Card team’s game against Buffalo Bills, will perform for the Green Bay Packers in their NFC Divisional Round clash with the Los Angeles Rams.
Veldheer is expected to play a vital role for the Packers, who will not have the Pro Bowl to face David Bakhtiari, after he suffered a break in the ACL at the end of the year.

According to ESPN, Veldheer will be the first player in league history to play for two teams in the same postseason. The only reason Veldheer is allowed to sign with the Packers is because he was on the Colts’ training team.
The COVID-19 training team rules are the only reason this was possible.
