NFL roster cuts: Players to know for Packers

Hundreds of players were release during final cutdowns around the NFL on Tuesday. The Green Bay Packers released 34 players, waived two injured and placed three on injured reserve. All 31 other teams reduced their rosters to 53 players by Tuesday’s deadline.

On Wednesday, teams can start claiming players waived on Tuesday.

The Packers still have some roster needs. General manager Brian Gutekunst could add a kicker, or long snapper, or a running back, or even a tight end or offensive lineman. Last year, the Packers claimed tight end Ben Sims (a pre-draft visitor) and safety Zayne Anderson (at a need position).
