Guys like Henry Black and Vernon Scott who actually played in regular-season games for the Packers last season held an obvious advantage, but Gaines could still provide a valuable depth piece on the practice squad with Redmond on injured reserve. The Packers signed to a reserve/future contract on January 8 and saw some impressive reps from him in camp practice and the preseason. Gaines could be one of the top options for the Packers to bring back once the 53-man roster deadline passes and they make all of their injury designations. He kicked the crap out of the ball in camp, survived two rounds of cuts, even with Mason Crosby entrenched atop the depth chart. #Packers released kicker JJ Molson, per source. The Packers could attempt to keep Benkert on their practice squad as an emergency plan for 2021 (or as a developmental piece for a Rodgers-less future that could arrive as soon as 2022), but don’t be surprised if another team claims him off the waivers and deprives them of the chance. With Aaron Rodgers returning as their starter and another first-round pick in Jordan Love backing him up, there wasn’t much of a short-term reason to keep Benkert around, even after a solid preseason in which he went 33-of-48 passing for 300 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. The question with Benkert has always been about whether the Packers would carry three quarterbacks with them into the 2021 season. Thought he'd shown enough as a backup tackle to stick on the 53. #Packers indeed released G Ben Braden and C Jacob Capra, as said.īraden had been in running for a starting job guard job early in camp. Now, the former Chicago Bears seventh-round pick is once again looking for a new job. While Denmark played in their preseason finale in Buffalo and might’ve been the best cornerback on the field for them against the Bills, he had been in Green Bay for less than a week after signing on August 25. The first roster cut of the day for the Packers wasn’t much of a surprise. The latest Packers news straight to your inbox! Join the Heavy on Packers newsletter here!
