That was fast. Ego Ferguson failed his physical with the Packers and was released, according to the NFL’s transactions wire. Green Bay claimed Ferguson off waivers from the Bears just days ago.
Ferguson, a former second-round pick, was waived by the club late last week. He played in only four games in 2015 due to injuries and a ban for performance-enhancing drugs. Then, he missed all of 2016 with a shoulder injury. In total, he played in only 20 NFL games since being drafted in 2014. In that time, the 25-year-old (26 in September) compiled 26 tackles, two sacks, and three passes defended. The Packers wanted to see what he could bring to the table, but he’s apparently got a ways to go before he can take the practice field.
In other Packers news, the team recently met with controversial running back Joe Mixon. The Packers also added a former Arena League guard.
HAHAHAHAHAHA. That didn’t take long. And the Bears drafted him when? It’s a good thing wins or losses don’t matter for the McCaskeys because the Bears suck.
To be fair it was Emery who drafted him and not the current regime. But yea the Bears suck.
