As cuts loom, Packers’ long shots keep hope alive while others jockey for roster position

GREEN BAY — DaShaun Amos has been through this before.

The Green Bay Packers cornerback and roster hopeful went to training camp in 2017 with the New York Giants as an undrafted rookie free agent from East Carolina. Cut at the end of training camp, Amos went north of the border to pursue his football dream, playing for the CFL’s Calgary Stampeders before the Packers gave him another NFL look in January, signing him to a futures deal a few days before their NFC Championship Game loss at San Francisco.

Now Amos, having spent much of camp at the back end of a crowded cornerback depth chart, is still keeping hope alive — be it for a spot on the 53-man roster or on the expanded 16-player practice squad — at the end of a training camp unlike any other thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.
