Damon Harrison will jump from one NFC playoff team to another. The Packers made a successful claim for the recently waived defensive tackle, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets.
Snacks expressed a desire to leave Seattle after the Seahawks made him a healthy scratch Sunday, but he will still factor into the NFC playoff bracket and may well have additional time to acclimate in Green Bay, with the Packers having the inside track on the conference's bye.
Several teams expressed interest in poaching Snacks off the Seahawks' practice squad; the Packers were among them. They will be Harrison's fifth NFL team. The veteran nose tackle has played with the Jets, Giants, Lions and Seahawks in nine NFL seasons.
Harrison played in six Seahawks games, rising to their active roster after a lengthy acclimation stay on their practice squad. In typical Snacks fashion, he performed as a solid run-stuffer with less-than-solid showings on passing plays. Pro Football Focus gave him an overall score of 68.1 - his 81.7 ground grade was weighed down by his 47.9 passing mark.
Harrison, 32, was a First-Team All-Pro with the Giants in 2016. He made the Jets-to-Giants switch that year, but the Giants traded him to Detroit in 2018. He has made 111 starts in his career, though none came this season.
While the Packers have one of the league's top interior defenders on their roster in Kenny Clark, they have multiple D-linemen - Montravius Adams and Billy Winn - on IR. The Packers have also experienced issues stopping the run this season. Despite preventing a Derrick Henry snow rampage, they rank 14th against the run. Dalvin Cook and Ronald Jones enjoyed big days against Green Bay earlier this season, but the team stands to have a proven ground-game deterrent in the mix come playoff time.
