The Packers announced that they are down to a 75-man roster. The full list of moves is presented below:
Placed On IR:
- WR Jordy Nelson
Waived/Injured:
- WR Javess Blue
- WR Jimmie Hunt
Released:
- QB Matt Blanchard
- WR James Butler
- LB Adrian Hubbard
- DB Kyle Sebetic
- TE Harold Spears
Of course, we’ve known for a while that Nelson would be placed on IR. The loss of Nelson, 30, is a body blow to a Green Bay offense that ranked first in offensive DVOA last season. Nelson was a major part of that success, catching 98 passes for more than 1,500 yards and 13 touchdowns en route to being named a second-team All Pro.
