GREEN BAY -- As expected, the Packers promoted wide receiver Jake Allen from the practice squad on Tuesday to take the place of injured Brett Swain, who was placed on season-ending injured reserve with the left knee injury he suffered against Cleveland on Sunday.

In addition, with only three other healthy wideouts -- Donald Driver, Greg Jennings and James Jones -- the team also signed wide receivers Biren Ealy and Patrick Williams to the practice squad. One took Allen's spot on the eight-player squad; guard Stanley Daniels was released to make room for the other.

Allen spent the season’s first seven weeks on the Packers’ practice squad after spending the entire 2008 season there. A 6-foot-4, 196-pound player, he will wear No. 13. Swain had played in all six games in 2009.

Ealy, a 6-foot-2, 212-pound second-year player, played in four games with the Tennessee Titans in 2007. He spent the 2008 season on the Titans’ practice squad and spent time this offseason with New Orleans and Baltimore. He will wear No. 19.

Williams, a 6-foot-1, 204-pound, originally signed with the Packers this offseason as a non-drafted rookie free agent. He will wear No. 18.
