Veldheer was activated to the 53-man roster from the exempt/commissioner permission list Monday.

Veldheer was signed by the Packers in late November after being released off the Patriots' reserve/retired list, but the team had a roster exemption, so he wasn't immediately added to the 53-man roster. The 32-year-old announced his retirement in May but will now continue his career as a reserve tackle in Green Bay.

Veldheer signed a contract with Green Bay on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The 32-year-old stayed in shape following his release from New England and will serve as insurance following the injury to Bryan Bulaga (knee).

Veldheer (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game, Patrick Smyth of the team's Public Relations staff reports.

Earlier suspicions were confirmed following the team's decision to withold Veldheer for the remainder of Monday's contest. With limited details at our disposal, it's tough to speculate on Veldheer's status moving forward. Expect the Broncos to address his availability beyond this week in the coming days.

Veldheer is questionable to return to Monday's game following a knee injury, Patrick Smyth of the team's Public Relations staff reports.

Veldheer (concussion) is considered questionable for Sunday's game versus the Ravens, Zac Stevens of BSNDenver.com reports.

Veldheer returned to practice in a limited role Friday, which suggests he is trending in the right direction. Still, he will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up Sunday. If he is unable to do so look for Billy Turner to get the starting nod at right tackle.

Veldheer (concussion) was on the field prior to Thursday's practice, Zac Stevens of BSNDenver.com reports.

Veldheer still remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, a five-step process he'll need to clear before being allowed to return to game action. If Veldheer can't gain clearance by Sunday, Billy Turner would likely start at right tackle against the Ravens.
