GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- The Green Bay Packers have turned to a familiar face to help shore up their offensive line: veteran tackle Mark Tauscher.

The Packers signed Tauscher on Monday after bringing him in for a workout last week. Tauscher started at right tackle for most of the previous nine seasons for the Packers, but he tore a ligament in his left knee last December.

The Packers (2-2) have given up 20 sacks in four games. Tauscher could compete with current starting right tackle Allen Barbre.

The team also placed cornerback/return specialist Will Blackmon on injured reserve with a knee injury, ending his season.
