Cannella comes to Green Bay just days before the Packers are set to start training camp. <\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Cannella spent time with the Miami Dolphins during training camp in 2021 before moving on to join the New Orleans Breakers of the United States Football League.  He was named to the all-USFL team after a season in which he accumulated 34 receptions for 368 yards, with two touchdowns. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_img\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The 6-foot-5, 242-pound tight end began his college career in 2016, playing for Scottsdale (Ariz.) Community College.  He then went on play for Auburn University from 2017-19.  He played in The Spring League in 2020-21. <\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Cannella will join tight ends Robert Tonyan, Marcedes Lewis, Tyler Davis, Dominique Dafney, Josiah Deguara, Eli Wolf and Aliz\u00e9 Mack on the 90-man roster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Packers tight ends coach John Dunn praised his tight end room in May. <\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;I&#8217;ve been extremely impressed with who they are as people and their personal character, their football character, the way they go about their business,&#8221; Dunn said.  &#8220;They&#8217;re smart. They&#8217;ve been coached well in the past and they really do a nice job of attacking. Where that goes, ultimately, again, you have to earn that every day by playing the game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Tonyan has not participated in offseason practices open to the media while recovering from an ACL tear that happened during Week 8 of the 2021 season. <\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">As to whether Tonyan will participate in football activities during training camp, that is to be determined. <\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;I can&#8217;t speak to that or for him,&#8221; Dunn said in May.  &#8220;I just know that he attacks every day as hard as he possibly can and he works hard. What that looks like down the road, I can&#8217;t certainly, you know, predict the future but he attacks it every day and he&#8217;s trying his best to catch up to speed.&#8221; <\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_anc\" id=\"gnt_atomsnc\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-method=\"loadAnc\" aria-label=\"Newsletter signup form\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Packers will begin training camp at 10:45 am July 27.
