The Green Bay Packers were among five teams that attempted to claim wide receiver/tight end Elijah Higgins off waivers on Wednesday, per Field Yates of ESPN. Higgins, a rookie out of Stanford, was awarded to the Arizona Cardinals, who has the highest waiver claim priority based on 2022 record.
Higgins (6-3, 235) was a sixth-round pick of the Miami Dolphins. Given his athleticism and size, Higgins was in the middle of a transition from receiver to tight end when the Dolphins released him during final cuts.
At Stanford, Higgins caught 119 passes for 1,380 yards and six touchdowns.
