The Packers have released the following players to reach the 53-man limit:
G Dejon Allen
TE Evan Baylis
FB Tommy Bohanon
RB Tra Carson
G Anthony Coyle
T Gerhard de Beer
CB Kabion Ento
K Sam Ficken
LB James Folston
RB Keith Ford
S Natrell Jamerson

CB Jackson Porter
LB Randy Ramsey
WR Teo Redding
CB Nydair Rouse

DL Deon Simon
WR Malik Taylor
QB Manny Wilkins
The Packers’ previously announced release of DeShone Kizer leaves the club with just two quarterbacks – Aaron Rodgers and Tim Boyle – on the roster. Meanwhile, they’ll carry six wide receivers on the initial 53: Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Geronimo Allison, Trevor Davis, Jake Kumerow, and Darrius Shepherd.
Equanimeous St. Brown, meanwhile, is not on that WR list. He was initially thought to have suffered a mild ankle sprain, but now, he’ll be out for the season.

Jaguars Sign 13 UDFAs
The Jaguars have signed the following 13 undrafted free agents:
- OL Tony Adams (N.C. State)
- CB Dee Delaney (Miami, Fla.)
- CB Tre Herndon (Vanderbilt)
- DT Michael Hughes (UNLV)
- LB Reggie Hunter (North Carolina Central)
- LB Darius Jackson (Jacksonville State)
- DE Lyndon Johnson (Cincinnati)
- WR Allen Lazard (Iowa State)
- OT K.C. McDermott (Miami, Fla.)
- CB Quenton Meeks (Stanford)
- WR Dorren Miller (Carson-Newman)
- LB Andrew Motuapuaka (Virginia Tech)
- S C.J. Reavis (Marshall)
Meeks skipped his senior season at Stanford with the belief that he would be a Day 3 draft pick. That call never came, so he’ll have to scrap for his opportunity to make the Jaguars’ final cut. Lazard also seemed to have a decent chance at getting drafted after setting Iowa State records with 231 passes and 3,218 yards over the course of his collegiate career.
The Jaguars now have have one open spot on their 89-man roster after releasing wide receiver Jaelen Strong and punter Brad Nortman.
