Lazard was one of the Packers‘ standout performers during the preseason, and he played well enough to earn a spot on the 53-man roster. But the Packers went with Trevor Davis and Darrius Shepherd, keeping six receivers in total on the roster.
Lazard led the Packers in receiving yards during the preseason, catching six passes for 114 yards and a touchdown in three games, and he also earned praise from Aaron Rodgers.
There’s still a chance Lazard will get his opportunity on the 53-man roster this year.
